It is all in the (grass-cutting) details…🌱

We look after a variety of green spaces across the Estate, and it is important that we keep them in tip top condition.

You might have seen our team out and about recently in Buckminster Village cutting the grass on the verges, communal areas and village green.

However, tip top condition isn’t just about having manicured grass…you might also notice that we choose not to mow certain areas.

This is to promote a more natural ecosystem, as longer grass can increase biodiversity and attract pollinators.

A huge thank you to the Estate maintenance team who carry out this work ensuring the safety and attractiveness of our shared spaces.

Earlier this week we were pleased to host year one students from Croxton Kerrial CE Primary School and Wymondham CE Primary School at Manor Farm.

During their visit the children had the chance to meet our lambs, learn about the crops we are growing and explore our woodland - lucky for them our bluebells were in full bloom.

Thank you to Matthew, Zoe and Tom for sharing their knowledge and enthusiasm with the children.

Work hard, play hard. 🛝

It is always a pleasure to give back to our local community and one of the ways we are doing this at the Estate is through managing Buckminster Village playing field.

From emptying bins and mowing the grass to maintaining the play equipment, our team work hard to make sure this space is a place that all the community can enjoy!

If you are a regular visitor to the playing field, we’d love to hear how you use it?

Spring cultivation has begun at Buckminster Farms! 🚜

Cultivation involves preparing the soil for planting. You may notice the tracks on this tractor which help to minimize soil compaction.

We're trying to create the best possible environment for the crops to thrive - including good drainage and w**d supression.
