These bulbs were planted by the path at Reed Hall in November and like magic (and a lot of hard work by the Grounds Team), they are now beautiful Daffodils and Tulips.
Isn’t nature wonderful!

New Environmental Foamstream System
The University’s Grounds Team have purchased a new piece of equipment with the environment in mind. The water based foamstream system deals with moss, algae and weeds without the use of chemicals.
It is proving particularly useful in the historic listed landscape of Reed Hall as there is no risk of damaging the stonework.
The photos below show some of our staff using the new foamstream equipment and the difference achieved in the treated areas.

Reed Pond Island Works
We have been busy clearing and thinning the vegetation on the island at Reed Pond – before, during and after works photos.

Wildflowers Trial – Reed Hall Beds
We are trialling a crop of summer flowering wildflowers at Reed Hall beds this year.
We have had to change the planting scheme and rest the beds this year, as we have had confirmation of a soil borne fungus disease.
We hope you enjoy these colourful wildflowers and we aim to reintroduce the traditional display of spring and summer bedding next year.
