The rhododendrons around Ransom Wood are currently in bloom, bringing a burst of colour to the woodland landscape 🌸
However, recent studies have shown them to cause several issues. Mature plants literally poison the ground, preventing other things from growing for up to 30,years. So this winter, Emec ecology worked hard to remove much of ours, along with Laurel and Sycamore. Allowing light onto the woodland floor and reducing the impact on our thousands of trees.
To balance this though, our 90 fruit trees we've planted bring colour and fruit to our restaurant.
You will also see the Vipers Bugloss, purple bee feeding towers and oxeye daisies planted by us, now growing naturally.
