Credit: Sue Milverton. “This photo was taken at the Wild Flower Meadow Stogumber last summer. The farmer, Ken Sellick, has sown an area of wild flowers for the past few years, opening the field to the public at weekends in return for a donation to a local charity. The photograph highlights the positive impact that farmers can have on the community. I took my elderly parents there for a picnic when this photo was taken and we had such a lovely day.”
