Flower Planting

Friends of York Walls, working along with City of York Council, BTCV, FWT and Buglife, are planting a variety of wild flowers on the ramparts. Starting at Queens Street, this will give colour and interest to the ramparts as well as providing the right enviroment for invertebrates. We are asking local school children to assist in the planting for their future enjoyment.
