The St. Aubyns Garden is formed of a 30m2 wildflower verge at the corner of St. Aubyns Crescent and St. Aubyns Road, Fishersgate. It is maintained by the Eastbrook Community Gardeners, a small team of residents improving the appearance of their local spaces.
The garden was sown with wildflower seed in May 2020, however after a challenging year, in spring 2021, an elderly resident did a Captain Thomas Moore style sponsored Walk for Wildflowers and raised over £1000 which paid for perennial wildflower turf called ‘Treasure Chest’ by Pictorial Meadows. The turf was laid by local residents replacing a grass verge and has been flowering successfully since 2021. The mix is drought tolerant and the best time of year to see it is around May and June.
This site is easily accessible as it is in a residential area.
