I don’t know about bustling, the hedgerows the length and breadth of Britain and Ireland must have been heaving, as so many of you took part in the hedgerow challenge!
Billowing swathes of Cow Parsley, Anthriscus sylvestris can typically be found making a frothy ‘skirt’ at the base of the hedgerow. Our featured image is a striking photograph of this plant by Grantham Ecologist.
May is such a lovely intoxicating month, from the very first opening of the hawthorn, a glorious floral profusion ensues, seemingly all at once!
You spotted bluebells, red campion, greater stitchwort, garlic mustard, cuckoo pint, forget-me-nots and speedwells and so much more!
Jane Rock found a gorgeous kaleidoscope of colour in her selection of hedgerow plants in the image above.
You can see the rest of your wonderful finds in the collection below.
Thank you so much for taking part.
