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.
Cowden Meadow
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] (http://www.english-nature.org.uk/Special/sssi/sssi_details.cfm?sssi_id=1003525) was designated by English Nature as a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI)[2] (http://www.english-nature.org.uk/Special/sssi/); for local information, contact English Nature's Kent Team[3] (http://www.english-nature.org.uk/about/teams/intro.asp?Id=11).
