this week gardeners at the university of cambridge are abandoning their mechanical lawn mowers and turningaced with grassland. once harvested the hay bales will be sent across cambridge so more meadows can be sewn. jo black reports. it looks like a glimpse into the past, but actually six—year—old cosmo and 15—year—old boy are kings college's latest lawnmowers. come on now. come on. keep going. come on. good lads. and today they're here to mow a meadow. for two years, this carpet of wild flowers has replaced some of the college's 18th century pristine lawn. the idea was to boost biodiversity on the site. the results, an increase in the number of species, a more natural environment and an eruption of colour. our wild flower meadow is now in its second year. we installed it to demonstrate the fact that wild flower meadows do have a place in urban areas because, of course, we are more or less in the middle of cambridge. the sustainability issues, they address, the biodiversity they bring in, there'sjust so much fun. and the shire horses are here to demonstrate the fact that you can actually ma
