Bearing in mind Bexley Council's total lack of interest in Wildlife related matters and their Brutal Strimming/Mowing Regime, we initially decided not to bother but then thought, Why Not?
Sadly: as more and more places have been and are being built on, Wild Corners are disappearing.
Following Hot on the Heels of the Winter Plant Hunt comes the Wild Flower Society's, Spring Plant Hunt, during which we understand, Participants count Plants in flower seen on one day during the First Week in March. We will give it a go.
