The King’s College Wildflower Meadow 
Modelled on the East Anglian countryside at the turn of the twentieth century, a large swathe of Cambridge's most iconic lawn had been transformed into an ecosystem rich in biodiversity that has seen poppies, cornflowers, scentless mayflowers, corn cockles and more stretching from the Chapel to the banks of the Cam. With perennial plants such as small scabious, sorrel, and kidney vetch coming to the fore as the annuals start to fade away.
