Gardeners at the world famous King's College at Cambridge University have been able to watch their new wildflower meadow flourish in one of its historic lawns due to the pandemic.

The new 'eco meadow' was planted back in October to boost biodiversity, and the time has now come for it to be mowed and turned into bales.

The college's gardens committee had to formally approve the plan to turn part of the lawn into a meadow, and it has been hailed a great success for the gardening team.

Gardeners from Trinity College have been helping out with their baling machine and the college hopes that cutting the meadow back should encourage more wildflowers to grow.
