Our Achievements to Date
We have completed many projects to make Frampton Cotterell more beautiful. Click on the Floral Map button to see some of the floral highlights in our village.
Wild Flower Planting
We have created nectar havens for Butterflies and Bees which are in decline.
The overgrown strip of ground alongside the Beesmoor Road Recreation Ground in Woodend Road was the first area to be dug over and planted with wild flowers. Overtime this has been developed into a herbaceous border with a mixture of perennial and annual plants.
A wildflower area has also been created by local primary school children at The Park off School Road.
Another wild flower area has been created with support from Buglife and South Glos in the Glebeland opposite St Peter's Church. Local Watermore pupils are helping us with this project.
Floral Gateways and Planters around the Village
We have built and installed 4 floral gateways on the main roads which enter the village. We have also built and installed planters at strategic places, including four planter benches.
Hanging baskets have also been erected on community buildings and shops around the village.
Sensory Garden at the Brockeridge Centre

"The Triangle"
"The Triangle" is the piece of land at the junction of Ryecroft Road and South View. It was formerly planted with low growing shrubs but had been somewhat neglected for a number of years. With the help of the Parish Council and South Glos Council who organised the clearing of the land, we have since turned it into a bed of flowers aimed at providing colour and variety through the seasons.
We created a Sensory Garden at the Brockeridge Centre using planting to reflect the five senses. The garden also includes raised beds so wheelchair users can try their hand at a bit of gardening. We also included sculptures made by local wood carvers. The Sensory Garden was officially opened by Gary Bristow, local RHS award winning garden designer, on Saturday 29th April 2017.
With the help of children from the Zion Preschool we also planted Daffodils in the rear garden in 2014.
Centenary Field
Together with the Parish Council we secured funds to plant fruit and nut laden trees at the Centenary Fields to help with conservation.
