We have been talking to Merseyrail about arrangements for the Butterfly Park Opening Day on Sunday 5th May. Dave Kyle, their Facilities Manager, kindly invited us to collect some wild primroses from a bank at Spital Station. They are very likely Dibbinsdale stock. So Richard and Hilary went along and collected a few dozen and planted them in the newly-coppiced Brick Pit Coppice at the Butterfly park.
Some of them are now out in flower!
There were so many we passed some on to Port Sunlight River Park, where they are starting to plant woodland flowers under their young trees. Thank you, Dave!
Dave also gave us some plants for the Plant Sale at the opening day. Reminder all gardeners - time to start preparing plants for that, especially pollinator-friendly ones.
