Chancellor\u2019s Farm is a species-rich hay meadow<\/a> in Somerset, managed by The Somerset Wildlife Trusts. It is one of the Coronation Meadows<\/a>, a collaboration between two charities, Plantlife and The Wildlife Trusts, that was set up in the face of the loss of 97 per cent of our wildflower meadows since the 1930s.<\/p>\n

Here Somerset Wildlife Trust reserves manager for Central Mendip James Ozolins takes us on a tour of the meadow and the plants within it.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Looking for more meadow tips?<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul><li><a href=\"\/\/www.gardensillustrated.com\/garden-design\/expert-tips-for-designing-a-meadow\/"\" target=\""_blank"\" rel=\""noopener" noopener noreferrer\">Expert tips for designing a meadow<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"\/\/www.gardensillustrated.com\/feature\/romanian-meadowlands\/"\" target=\""_blank"\" rel=\""noopener" noopener noreferrer\">The meadowlands of Romania: remarkable Romanian flowers and plants<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"\/\/www.gardensillustrated.com\/plants\/meadow-plants-best-plants\/"\" target=\""_blank"\" rel=\""noopener" noopener noreferrer\">Meadow plants: best plants for a meadow<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t miss this beautiful\u00a0<a href=\"\/\/www.gardensillustrated.com\/gardens\/country\/cooks-farm-somerset\/"\" target=\""_blank"\" rel=\""noopener" noopener noreferrer\">ancient woodland and flower-rich meadow<\/a><\/p> <\/body><\/html>\n<hr class=\"no-tts wp-block-separator\"\/>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> We took a tour around the beautiful Chancellor’s Farm in Somerset, one of the key meadows that are part of the Coronation Meadows initiative <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":24,"featured_media":23964,"template":"","categories":[1,17,51],"acf":{"readingTimeMinutes":"< 1"},"uagb_featured_image_src":{"full":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/48\/2023\/07\/a-meadow-in-somerset-chancellors-farms-species-rich-hay-meadow-scaled.jpg",2560,1920,false],"thumbnail":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/48\/2023\/07\/a-meadow-in-somerset-chancellors-farms-species-rich-hay-meadow-150x150.jpg",150,150,true],"medium":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/48\/2023\/07\/a-meadow-in-somerset-chancellors-farms-species-rich-hay-meadow-300x225.jpg",300,225,true],"medium_large":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/48\/2023\/07\/a-meadow-in-somerset-chancellors-farms-species-rich-hay-meadow-768x576.jpg",768,576,true],"large":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/48\/2023\/07\/a-meadow-in-somerset-chancellors-farms-species-rich-hay-meadow-1024x768.jpg",800,600,true],"1536x1536":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/48\/2023\/07\/a-meadow-in-somerset-chancellors-farms-species-rich-hay-meadow-1536x1152.jpg",1536,1152,true],"2048x2048":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/48\/2023\/07\/a-meadow-in-somerset-chancellors-farms-species-rich-hay-meadow-2048x1536.jpg",2048,1536,true]},"uagb_author_info":{"display_name":"importmanagerhub@sprylab.com","author_link":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/gardensillustrated\/author\/importmanagerhubsprylab-com\/"},"uagb_comment_info":0,"uagb_excerpt":"We took a tour around the beautiful Chancellor's Farm in Somerset, one of the key meadows that are part of the Coronation Meadows initiative","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/gardensillustrated\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/rss_feed\/23963"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/gardensillustrated\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/rss_feed"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/gardensillustrated\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/rss_feed"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/gardensillustrated\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/24"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/gardensillustrated\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/23964"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/gardensillustrated\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=23963"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/gardensillustrated\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=23963"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
