The Eden Project National Wildflower Centre (NWC) and volunteers who are known as the Wildflower Warriors – have been collecting seed by hand in a bid to bring colour and life to a major new link road being built in Cornwall.

The NWC is part of the Eden Project and has been coordinating the huge task of gathering, cleaning, sowing, growing and harvesting sufficient wildflower seed to plant the route of nearly four miles.

Construction of the link road between the A30 and St Austell is in the final phase. Seed sowing along approximately 45 acres of banks and verges began this autumn and will create a corridor of what organisers say is “vitally important” wildflower, woodland and heathland habitats. There will be new routes for cycling, walking and horse-riding on five and a half miles of newly built paths.
