 Walk around the back of the SHED to find the Boundary bank with pioneer woodland including hawthorn in flower, blackthorn, at the back birch and whitebeam, coppiced hazel, and native privet.

Further along: hedge maple and holm oak, planted as whips in 1987.

In front of the pioneer woodland is a grass bank with a number of vetch species: Yellow meadow vetchling, Tufted vetch, Grass vetchling, Common vetch.
