I wondered if they just meant the plants because they might just be
cultivated varieties rather than the true wild flowers? The information
was on a leaflet in the radio Times.

Did you have a different leaflet in Radio Times in your area? Ours was
in the form of a postcard to return to the Woodland Trust, and there is
absolutely nothing on it to say it should be wild rather than garden.



I don't know Kay, I don't have the Radio Times. I was doing the
birdwatch one for the Gardening Magazine and someone told me about the
garden/spring watch and said there was a leaflet also a website address.

I went online searched for phenology etc and I KNOW I saw a message
that said they wanted data from the wild because plants in gardens were
probably not the wild type. I'll have to plough through the history on
the other computer's OE to find the page it was on, but I definitely saw
it. I had pasted all the details into the newsletter and then had to
cut them when I saw the message.

I'll try and find the relevant address tonight.

If nothing else, if it wasn't referring to the Spring watch I can print
out leaflets for the members meeting.
