Flora and Trees:

Crown Meadow is a naturally-managed environment that supports a wide range of wild flowers. Over the last 10 years Stone Town Council has invested to introduce a more diverse selection of species aimed at improving the habitat and health of Crown Meadow. The two wetland scrapes were created to achieve this and there is ongoing management to maintain a suitable balance.  Dominant species on the meadow (which regularly floods in winter) include Meadow Foxtail, Yorkshire-fog, Soft-rush, Creeping Buttercup, Cow Parsley, Hogweed, Himalayan Balsam and Butterbur. Other species of note include: Meadowsweet, Purple Loosestrife, Wild Iris and Goat Willow.

The amphitheatre is planted with mainly native trees like Field Maple, Sycamore, Ash, Oak, Wild Cherry and Scot’s Pine.
