Located on the Abbey Line Trail in Sopwell Nunnery https://www.walkingenglishman.com/ldp/abbeylinetrail.html refers, this board has been erected by St Albans District Council and has the following wording: Sopwell Nunnery Green Space: Summer Wildflower Meadows. This is the summer wildflower meadow and provides an important habitat for wildlife, especially insects which feed on nectar. Wildflowers thrive in areas with nutrient poor soils and high light levels. The images in the middle show the following from left to right: Natural Grassland, Field Scabious and Bumblebees. The meadow will be cut and the cuttings removed twice a year. In a few years time this management should lower nutrient levels and promote the growth of wildflowers.
