Clifton Hill Meadow

In autumn 2021, the council agreed to our request for wildflowers on Clifton Hill, the grassy slope below St Andrew’s churchyard. The westernmost section of the site is now a wildflower meadow, and the rest a wildflower 'floral lawn' - suitable for picnics as before. And most of the daffodils that everyone loves have stayed.

On the pages in this project, we explain:
  • how the project is progressing over time;
  • how you can create a similar meadow or wildflower ‘floral lawn’ in your own garden;
  • how you can propose a similar ‘public space’ project to the council.

Let’s wild Bristol up!
