Watford mayor Peter Taylor pictured with members of Friends of Cassiobury Park Watford Borough Council has announced plans to create wildflower meadows throughout Cassiobury Park. The council says by spring 2022, park visitors and wildlife will be able to fully enjoy the new stunning wildflower displays at the town s biggest park. The project will be carried out in partnership with Hertfordshire & Middlesex Butterfly Conservation Trust and Friends of Cassiobury Park, using these organisations extensive knowledge to plant appropriate wildflower seeds for butterflies and insects. The species that will be planted include Tufted Vetch, which attracts bumble bees, the Garlic Mustard, an important food plant for caterpillar species and also the Sweet Vernal Grass and Crested Dogstails, both of which are a good source of food for the larvae of brown and skipper butterflies.
