A free, hands-on event is taking place in Willmott Park in Bristol, helping to plant a wildflower river bed. The event will begin with a short introduction to the organising team, followed by a safety briefing on tool use. You will then be able to get involved with helping to plant up the wildflower river bed with plug plants, wildflower seeds and seed bombs in the South Section of the park. This activity will help provide new habitat for insects and pollinators, retracing the original coarse of one of the tributaries for the Malago River. During the planting session there will be a refreshment break with tea, coffee, and biscuits. Suitable for all ages. No experience necessary.

Location: Willmott Park (South) Section, Moxham Drive, Hartcliffe, Bristol, BS13 0HS Meeting point: What3Words Location: ///second.lobby.went Accessibility info: Willmott Park is wheelchair accessible from Moxham Drive, and Kilmersdon Road, but less so from Bishport Avenue due to the gate being very tight and a steep hill once inside the park from the Bishport Avenue end. Family and child friendly event for all ages, all children attending must be accompanied by responsible parent or adult at all times. The event will be near the main path, but set slightly back and will involve being on the grass which can be uneven and slippery when or if wet.
