One of the unsung heroes of 2010's wildflower explosion was our sponsor, EFG (the company across the road from the meadow). Despite 2010 being a hard year for almost every UK business, Michale Spinks at EFG kindly donated the budget we needed to get the meadow going.
But sadly, although EFG would have liked to sponsor the meadow again this year, they've had to pull out. So I'd like to bid a fond farewell to them, and say a big THANK YOU to Michael Spinks and the folks at EFG. We couldn't have done it without you!
There's good news too though - the bulbs we planted last autumn are all naturalising species. So they should start multiplying on their own, without us having to buy more. And many of the annual plants will have self-seeded already. So we won't need quite as much seed as before.
That all means that right now, not having a sponsor isn't really a problem. But to keep doing good stuff, we'll need some ongoing support in the future. So if you know any other local businesses with an philanthropic itch to scratch, send them our way!
