National Meadows Day 2022 - a photo on Flickriver

National Meadows Day 2022

Held on the 1st Saturday of July every year is National Meadows Day. According to Kew Gardens we've lost some 97% of our wildflower meadows since the early 30's. Here in the UK some of us seem to be on a permanent warlike footing with the local councils whose murderous mowers fire up in action every time a flower bud appears. We've just had 'no mow' May but I lean to the theory of 'No Mow until Autumn'. In my eyes these pen pushing jobsworths are nothing short of butchers.

However that being said there are always exceptions to the rule. And one council really does need to be applauded - the sheer delight of driving into Sutton Coldfield this week revealed these beautiful verges. Sutton Coldfield council you bloody well rock.
