Protecting A Vital Green Space In Crouch End
Three years ago we established an experimental wildflower meadow along the western edge of the school playing field. Now the meadow is established and continues to bloom in the summer, providing colour as well as attracting bees and butterflies, and of course local passers-by.
Cyclamen enthusiasts once had to travel to Mediterranean shores to find this hardy plant growing in the wild, but now this beautiful little flower is thriving in its location off the CREOS Lower Path and getting more abundant every year.
They may be small in stature, but mosses and liverworts greatly enhance the beauty and biological interest of just about everywhere in London from roadside trees, garden walls and paths. They are also some of the best biological indicators of air quality and climate.
