We keep hearing people asking about the wildflowers in St Andrews Park and why they have been mowed recently

We asked Councillor Gillian Ford why this would have been done

You have to manage wildflower planting which includes cutting back. The area will need re-seeding next year. If it is left to its own devices the dominant species takeover and we’d no longer have a wildflower area.

So don’t worry if the plants have been removed from your local park, the plant beds will not remain as simply grass
