Edinburgh Living Landscapes

Blipped on my walk home from work this afternoon.

Parts of Gyle Park are becoming a meadow as part of the Edinburgh Living Landscapes initiative.

The initiative is a partnership project that will create, restore and connect green areas of the city to make attractive and biodiverse landscapes, enjoyed by residents and visitors. Landscapes will be healthy, nature rich and resilient to climate change.

The project involves a range of measures such as the creation of floral meadows reducing how often some areas of grass are cut and allowing natural grassland to thrive mowing pathways through areas of longer grass so they can still be explored and enjoyed tree planting and creating woodlands increasing our use of herbaceous perennial planting bulb planting.

This all sounds (and looks) good, particularly for the bees, butterflies, bugs etc.

Well done council parks department.
