Time passes and the Co-op site has begun to see blooms moving back in to colonise what appears, at first sight, a poor habitat:
rosebay willowherb
buddleia (with varieties enough to form a National Collection)
evening primrose
sunset glory…
I got it wrong earlier this year predicting work would start on the Co-op in the summer. The summer is almost over, and this area is fast becoming an area of special scientific interest.
It seems a very long time ago that I bought some cheap plates and bowls from that CO-OP in their closing down sale – because it was!
I'm starting to wonder if it will ever be rebuilt….
The buddleia at the Co-op is prolific. It seems to be different kinds.
It always amazes me how buddleia will colonise even brick walls as well as abandoned sites.
work to start in October
