The traditional craft of hedgelaying is used encourage growth from ground level, thickening the hedge and improving wildlife habitats. Our Fann St hedge was laid this month in Midlands style by the Conservation Volunteers.  We wish to thank the Culture Mile Business Improvement District who funded this project.
