Earlier this year we began to notice that many of the grass verges and roundabouts in our area were remaining un-trimmed and that the grass was getting quite long.
Before long we were treated to a wonderful show of flowers all planted in a scheme known as “Pride in Rossendale”.
This initiative has resulted in grass verges and worn out rose beds being converted to small flower meadows. These have remained uncut throughout the summer and have produced some wonderful and colourful displays around the area.
There are over 20 different flower species in the meadows with Shirley Poppy, Californian Poppy, Cornflower, Fairy Toadflax, Red Flax, Bishop's Flower, Corn Marigold and Larkspur making up most of the mix.
Well done Rossendale Council!!
