Collecting Yellow Rattle Seeds

Meet Dorothy and Ian Griffin. They have been managing a meadow in Staveley for 20 years. At last count they have over 100 species of wild flowers. Last weekend I had the pleasure of visiting and, under their guidance, collected yellow-rattle seeds. When the flowers of yellow-rattle fade, the brown calyxes in which the tiny seeds ripen can be seen and heard - they give a distinctive 'rattle', hence the common name The seeds will be spread in the autumn to help change the grassland back to meadow. Yellow-rattle is an annual that thrives in grasslands, living a semi-parasitic life by feeding off the nutrients in the roots of nearby grasses.The yellow-rattle will allow more native species to push their way through. Huge thanks Dorothy and Ian for such a warm welcome and the knowledge that they shared.
