GET IN TUNE WITH NATURE Wiltshire Life celebrates all things green this month…and pink, purple, yellow, blue and red. With a free spotter’s guide to wildflowers, a list of wildflowers to grow yourself, events to get involved in and an in-depth feature on why Wiltshire’s meadows are some of the richest in the country, this is an issue not to miss. We also have a great mix of features for you, from the 50th anniversary of Longleat Safari Park and the story of Wiltshire in 100 objects, to the racy life of air and motoring record breaker Mary Bruce and the history and use of our village greens and commons. There’s a look at two sides of Salisbury (from cocoa to Soho); village life is in the Wylye Valley and environmentalist Sophy Fearnley-Whittingstall puts the spotlight on green Swindon. To complete the natural theme, My Wiltshire profiles Fred Gillam, known as Fred the Forager, who has a fascinating take on the world.
