Weed workshop!!!

That was the unofficial title of this fun day, held at the Priory Centre in Gt Yarmouth, and then relocated to Gt Yarmouth Minster Cemetery.This was a wildflower ID day, hosted by Norfolk Wildlife Trust Gemma Walker and Nick Aitchison, very knowledgable people, First we had a basic talk about bits of the flower and then we went out and looked for lovely wild flowers , found some good ones in the church yard, such as Broomrape a strange looking thing which is a parasitic plant and can appear 5 years later entirely in another location , also there was Wild Sage, Wild Thyme, Biting Stonecrop, and much more, it was  a free day out, and we learned loads
There are only a couple more workshops and talks coming up, and they are all free and well worth coming along to, go see the NWT website for further details Also Friends of Gt Yarmouth Minster are hoping to make a nature area in the future and are looking for volunteers to help.
