National Trust

I visited a local NT property today for the first time and was told about the unidentified Wax Caps that grow in the grounds I know that the NT was interested in their properties where these colourful beauties grow so look forward to visiting during the year. I mentioned that they do tend to grow in short often moss rich grass and was told by the head gardener that they don't put moss killer on every year. I may have to work on his ecological practices for the coming year.

I'm quite surprised over this Mal There was quite a concerted effort last year by the NT in general to monitor, record and further protect waxcap habitats. Time maybe for some staff training
