🌳 Our Chinese crab apple trees (Malus hupehensis) are in flower and looking beautiful today at Higher Meadow.
This area is usually closely mown but is now being established as a proper meadow.
Our gardeners sown yellow rattle which helps keep the grass low so that wild flowers and pollinators can thrive.
