11am to 1pm at Mountfields Bus Stop Wildflower Verge

Join Growing Hollingdean volunteers to plant these wildflowers at the Mountfields Bus Stop verge!

We first planted this verge in October 2023 as a trial project. After its successful growth, we hope you’ve enjoyed seeing butterflies, birds, bees, insects, and other wildlife thriving in this space.

From Verges to Trees to Gardens – this is how to create a Wildlife Corridor

Bees and insects are incredibly important to us, as they pollinate over 300 fruit and nut trees around Hollingdean. By connecting our verges, trees, and your own green spaces or gardens, we help create a beautiful wildlife corridor. Check out Brighton & Hove Council’s sites here. You can also explore our Growing Hollingdean Map for the nearest wildflower verge near you.

It is truly magical to take a moment to enjoy the fragrance of blossoms in spring and listen for the gentle buzzing of bees among our fruit trees.

Hollingdean is doing our bit for the environment

This wildflower-planted verge also helps cool the ground and absorbs excess rainwater—a double benefit for our environment! We currently have six wildflower areas across Hollingdean. Explore their locations on our Tree Map here.

We look forward to meeting you.
