Geranium Man creates flower for Lost Love

12:59am Tuesday 17th May 2011

“Mighty oaks from little acorns grow” so the saying goes, and you might have wandered past a simple geranium stall at the local Moulsecoomb Family Fun Day on Saturday, but if you did, you missed the start of something big. For Mr Walter Sargison has big plans: he would like not only to start a pot plant group in Brighton but also go onto bigger things. “ I want to try to give people experience in how to grow geraniums,” said Mr Sargison. “And when the club gets big enough it would be nice to go on outings to flower shows, then eventually have a big flower show here in Brighton - something to match the Chelsea Flower Show.”

Moulsecoomb sheep help restore ecosystem balance

11:55pm Monday 16th May 2011

The hardy Herdwick Cumbrian sheep are a popular sight on the hillsides of Moulsecoomb Wild Park, giving a lovely country ambience to what is essentially a city park. However, the sheep are not just there to make the park more attractive but they have a very important part to play in maintaining the balance of the ecosystem. Since their introduction in 2008 to improve the chalk grassland area there are signs of rare plants beginning to grow again and the rare Adonis butterfly has made a re-appearance. David Larkin, Brighton and Hove county park ranger, explained how the sheep are making a difference to conservation in Moulsecoomb and other parks around Brighton.
