SIR, I would like to take this opportunity to thank the council and everybody who was involved in, firstly making the decision, then in the preparing and the planting up, of all the beautiful areas of wild flowers around Monmouth. Such eye catchers and a real joy. The flowers are so pretty, as well as useful. It may be friendly to bees, and it certainly is friendly to all who have eyes to see and a mind to enjoy. Well done council. Mrs EVH Williams (Monmouth)
