Hungry Caterpillars

Way back in the middle of April, a group of “Friends” and Councillor Graham Latty prepared and then planted some wildflower annual seeds just inside the farmgate entrance on the left handside.

With some regular weeding by several “Friends” our efforts have borne fruit: there is now a beautiful collection of wildflowers coming into bloom, particularly corncockle and red poppies.

Corncockle

Just slightly further along into the park,  hidden in some tall nettles,  are a beautiful collection of caterpillars, nibbling their way through the lush vegetation, just like the “Hungry Caterpillar” story.
