Reading council (in collaboration with the Urban Pollinator Project) has sown 5 annual and 5 perennial flower meadows in parks, a cemetery and along a road verge in Reading.
Annual meadows were sown in the following places:
1. Victoria Recreation Ground (Tilehurst)
2. Prospect Park
3. Christchurch Meadows
4. Caversham Crematorium
5. Rabsons recreation Ground
Perennial meadows were sown in the following places:
1. Meadway Recreation Ground
2. Prospect Park
3. Portman Road East
4. Westfield Road Recreation Ground
5. Cintra Park
The annual meadows were sown in May and are germinating now. You can see for example Cosmos, Pot Marigold and Californian Poppy seedlings. The perennial meadows take longer to germinate and we hope there will be soon seedlings visible. The perennial plants will be native and will not flower this year but should flower next year.
