The
wildflower sowing season is in full swing! - having started late due to cold
soils and a very dry April.
Our Great Outdoors
Project in Knowsley, Merseyside funded by the Big Lottery, invites
local people to come along and help us sow seed in their parks and greenspaces.
Using wildflowers to bring life, colour and biodiversity interest into mown
grass areas, we are encouraging people to get out and about, and improve their
health and wellbeing. more

well cared for - a place to be proud of. Everyone wants daily life to be more
satisfying and less stressful - to be able to go outside more often enhances
personal well-being and helps people to get to know and trust more of their
neighbours. Achieving these aspirations, builds stable communities with positive
outlooks about their environment. more
