About the event

This talk is based on a year-long study carried out by Pam and Mike Merrick in 2024, exploring the wildflowers and verge habitats of a quiet local lane in Forncett. Although the lane is only around 1 km long, its verges support a surprising diversity of habitats and flowering plants. Pam and Mike recorded every species in flower each month throughout the year, building a fascinating picture of how the lane changes through the seasons. Their research is illustrated with plenty of photographs, bringing the plants, habitats and seasonal highlights vividly to life. The talk follows a short WyNG AGM.
