The wild flower meadow at the south end of the Park has really flourished this year. In the spring the Duke of Edinburgh award volunteers stripped off some extra areas of turf and plug plants from the Scottish Wildlife Trust Jupiter nursery were planted by a youth group from Greenbank Church. These included the magnificent Great Mullein (yellow spike of flowers up to 1 metre high), White campion and Evening primrose all of which are now in bloom. These complement the existing plants that have been planted and sown over the last few years. There are good displays of mauve scabious, mounds of yellow meadow vetchling and purple knapweed at the moment.
