I work for a charity called Plantlife on a project Magnificent Meadows Wales. We work with lots of different people like communities, societies, farmers, natural reserves on protecting and creating wildflower meadows.

My Typical Day:
I drive to a farm or a meadow, meet the farmer and then we go and have a look at his wildflower meadows. I then give him some advice on how he can make his meadow better and how to keep it healthy and with as many flowers as possible.
