Corn Marigolds & Chamomile

Our terraces are absolutely covered in yellow flowers, mainly corn marigolds interspersed with chamomile.

We need to strim all the brambles that have appeared over the winter, and many of the pathways that we use, but we try to wait until after the wildflowers have seeded, guaranteeing the bloom of colour again next year.

The bees have been returning to their hives completely covered in bright orange pollen from the marigolds – another good reason to leave clearing them for a few weeks.
