Grant of £6,565 awarded in 2022
The P3 project has permanently enriched four of the entrances to Headington Hill Park in Oxford by introducing a wide variety of flowering plants in style and scale with their surroundings. The plants were selected to attract pollinators and with bird and insect life in mind – berries, seed heads, winter cover, leaf litter – and the need for only minimal after-care.
Much of the new planting was done by children from the local schools, East Oxford Primary School and Magdalen College School, as well as the 10th Oxford Beavers, Cubs and Scouts.
The volunteer ranger from the Friends of Headington Hill Park who is leading the P3 project told us “Many members of the public have expressed huge enthusiasm, encouragement and interest, always grateful, and leading to plenty of lively exchanges. The project is proving fantastic!”
