ONE YEAR ON...🌼🌸 We're thrilled to see the beautiful wildflowers thriving this spring thanks to the hard work of our dedicated park volunteers! Not only do they add a pop of colour to our roundabouts, but they also support biodiversity and help reduce carbon emissions. 🌱

We’re starting to see #ThamesValleyPark awaken from winter’s grip with new growth emerging, flowers starting to bloom and trees slowly coming back to life. With Spring just around the corner, let’s look forward to many more days of sunshine, birdsong, and natural beauty! 🌷🐦🍃
