Wildflowers in the park


We have recently discovered a new park (new to us) a few weeks ago and when my husband ended up working all night last week I took the children out for the morning to give him some peace to sleep!

The park is right next to a small library so they sat there to do their maths (a bit too chilly now to sit out!) and then we headed outside to explore the wild-flower meadow.



I was amazed how many different flowers there were when we looked closely

Cornflower

Poppy

?Scentless mayweed

?Fleabane

Corncockle

Common knapweed
If anyone can help with identifying the white and yellow flowers that would be great ; )

We also investigated the different sounds made by snapping the dried stems of some plants we found at the edge of the meadow.


There's some lovely wood art in the park








and stone work



We found lots of signs of Autumn



Beech nuts

Elderberries
We then did our exercise at the green gym!

We'll definitely be back for another visit - beautiful.
