Some of you may have noticed a roped off area where a new type of grass is being trialled on the village green. This new grass, called couch grass is a warm season grass, which has the benefit of coping very well in dry summer weather. It should stay green even in drought conditions and cope with plenty of use.
Once the couch grass has been established, a traditional winter grass will be mixed in, resulting in a village green which will stay green all year round. If this proves to be as successful as we expect, then there may be other sites around the city that would benefit from the same approach.
