Children's Wildflower Wikipedia

From an extensive collection of wildflower watercolours found and recorded in the vicinity of Friendly Green Cottage, intended to serve as a seed for a children's wildflower wikipedia.

The green-winged orchid has special significance in this collection, in recognition & appreciation of Hazel Pollard's role in protecting the Cowden Meadow and watching over a growing profusion of wild orchids between June and July each year - just a few hundred yards from her home at Friendly Green Cottage - local maps forthcoming.

Through Hazel's initiative, Cowden Meadow[1] was designated by English Nature as a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI)[2]; for local information, contact English Nature's Kent Team[3].
