Annual maintenance work begins on Nottingham's Green Heart to help wildflowers thrive

Overview

Nottingham's Green Heart city centre park is undergoing its annual 'cut-and-lift' maintenance work to prepare for next year's wildflowers. The process removes seasonal vegetation to keep soil nutrient levels low, preventing aggressive grasses from taking over and ensuring a diverse range of wildflowers can grow.

Key points

  • The Green Heart in Nottingham city centre is undergoing its annual 'cut-and-lift' maintenance.
  • Removing cut vegetation keeps soil nutrient levels low, which prevents grasses from taking over and helps wildflowers thrive.
  • The space, built on part of the former Broadmarsh shopping centre site, opened in October 2024.
  • The site recently won a national award for the UK's best landscape and public space project at the Architects' Journal Architect Awards 2025 and also achieved Green Flag status.
