    The Towans here have wild orchids and other natural planting and some folk feel they can dig them up for their own gardens! It is annoying. Rarely will those plants grow in their gardens anyway :noidea:
    Leave them be folks and enjoy them in their natural habitat :)

      Good morning I am very fortunate that Ranscombe Farm reserve is less than 5 minutes from where I reside:smile:

      Ranscombe Farm is Plantlife's largest nature reserve in England, occupying a total area of 560 acres on the slopes of the North Downs in Kent. Recently declared as a country park, the reserve provides opportunities for quiet walks amongst attractive countryside with a fascinating flora.

      The Ranscombe Farm landscape includes arable habitats, extensive ancient woodland and fragments of chalk grassland. A large part of the site is within the Cobham Woods Site of Special Scientific Interest, and the whole farm is within the Kent Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

      Ranscombe Farm has been an important botanic site for hundreds of years. The first UK records of two Nationally Rare species, meadow clary and rough mallow, were both from Ranscombe Farm, dating from 1699 and 1792 respectively. Both species still survive in the same spot. At least six species of orchid have also been recorded including fly, lady ('Fair Maidens of Kent') and man orchid.
