LIVING BOUQUETS: The Yorkshire Dales Millennium Trust (YDMT) has launched a Living Bouquet gift, which is designed to be a sustainable alternative to cut flowers. Under the scheme, people can pay to dedicate a piece of living hay meadow full of native wildflowers to someone. Upland hay meadows are one of the most rare and threatened habitats in Britain and support a unique collection of wildlife. The bouquets include a certificate and gift card, a pack of wildflower seeds sustainably sourced from northern England and a guide to one of the best wildflower meadow walks in the Yorkshire Dales. The bouquets will help raise money for the charity. For more information visit; www.ydmt.org/LivingBouquet.
