  • Wildflowers in the Millennium Spinney – 19 April 2026

    The Spinney Working Group have had a couple of Wildflower planting sessions in the Spinney; we have planted some of the Wildflowers near the Hibernaculum and others in the original Wildflower area near the back of the Spinney.

    Both areas have been roped off to protect the Wildflowers whilst they are getting established.

    The Wildflowers we planted last Autumn are looking good, as are the Bluebells, and the Hibernaculum has “greened-up” nicely, so please go and wander around the Spinney and enjoy the Spring colour.

    All the Wildflowers were purchased for the Spinney from Blisworth Wild Flowers and generously funded by the Gayton Alms Charity.

  • Gayton Millennium Spinney – 2 October 2025

    Over the last couple of days the Spinney Working Group volunteers have been busy clearing an area in the Spinney and planting out some of the Wildflowers purchased for the Hibernaculum & Spinney from Blisworth Wild Flowers, generously funded by the Gayton Alms Charity.

    We ask that you please “Keep Out” of the roped off area whilst our new Wildflowers are getting themselves established in their new surroundings.

  • Gayton Millennium Spinney – 4 April 2025

    Glenyss & myself have been busy in the Spinney again, this time planting some Common Dog Violets and Wood Sorrel along the back hedge, you may notice the little clearings to help give the plants a chance to get established.

    The Primroses are looking good, as are the Lesser Celandine and a few daffodils, and the Hibernaculum has ‘greened-up’nicely.

    Colin & I also planted some Winter Aconites recently between the Hibernaculum towards the sign, protected by some little wigwams.

    On a lovely spring day the Gayton Millennium Spinney is a lovely place for a walk or just sit on one of the benches and simply enjoy the sunshine.
