This lawn is one of the views available from the chapel, and fellows of the college, as well as the gardeners employed by it, are planning to plant a number of different flowers there. These will include buttercups, daisies, cornflowers and poppies, ensuring that those who visit the college will be able to enjoy a cornucopia of colour once they come into bloom.
The green is a beloved part of the college grounds and it has been carefully maintained in its current state for around 300 years, but these plans will represent a major change.

Speaking to the Cambridge Independent, Steve Coghill, the college’s head gardener said the environmental benefits of biodiversity were a reason for the decision, in addition to the visual appeal, before adding:
“We are very lucky that we have a very forward-thinking garden committee and fellowship because you can only do these things if the college is in accord.”
The new wildflower meadow is expected to start blooming in the late spring and be ready for summer visitors.Get a Free Quote for Postcards Get a Free Quote for Plans
