New Wildflower Area for South Wootton

Children from North Wootton Primary School helped members of King’s Lynn Priory Rotary in the first stage of establishing a new perennial wildflower meadow in South Wootton last week. The new wildflower planting area is alongside the footpath leading from Nursery Lane to Wootton Park and complements the tree planting carried out by the club and children from the area in 2022 and 2023.

This stage involved sowing yellow rattle seed which will flower in the summer of 2025 and helps to discourage grasses, providing space for wildflowers which will be sown in the second stage next year. The aim of the project is to provide an amenity for the many people who use the path and to increase biodiversity more widely, thus attracting pollinators and birds alike.
