In a few weeks the wildflowers will be in full bloom in the wet heathland behind Hawthorn Grove and on the Marcus High Dunes where dry heathland species flourish. The first to correctly ID these plants, photgraphed in our “backyard”, will recieve a free membership renewal to the MBBA. If you have already paid your membership fee, you will be in credit for the following year.
