An extraordinary experiment in the ordinary has seen two shire horses brought in by a Cambridge college to help with the harvest.
In this instance the harvest is a wildflower meadow that King’s College planted as part of a biodiversity effort.

The college even brought in a traditional hay wain, pulled by the shires, for authenticity but also to recreate traditional methods of harvesting the meadows. Bales are being collected to ensure new meadows can be created elsewhere across the city.
