New work starting and new flowers

The contractors are starting the soft strip works to the herb garden within the ruins, which will involve fencing a large section of the grassed area to the north side of the ruins. They will be opening up the pond garden walk ways to the public with some localised fencing to small areas still under construction.

Last year volunteers planted some snake head fritillaries in the park, and these are now beginning to flower, though they are quite difficult to spot.

Each flower stem is only about 8cm high, so you are probably viewing these photos at life size or bigger!
