Flower Bed Storytime
“Meet Wendy from Andover Trees United. She and her team wanted to raise awareness of the importance of wildflowers in their local town. They managed to get permission to create a wildflower bed in the town centre - and the idea grew from there!
The wildflower bed ended up spending many more weeks in the town than expected, engaging thousands of people in the project!” - Grow Wild
