Queen's Park takes part in urban bloom experiment

Queen's Park has been selected to participate in a research project by Sheffield University and the Royal Horticultural Society to find the best wildflower mixes for urban areas.

Five small areas in the park have been identified as suitable plots on which to carry out the experiment, which will run for five years. Over that time the university's renowned Department of Landscape will sow a variety of wildflower seeds to create perennial meadows. These will provide greater flower diversity, a much longer flowering season and a richer ecosystem by attracting a wider range of insects than currently exists.
