Two botanical surveys have been undertaken, July 2000 and June 2001, by Rosie Cliffe and Mark and Claire Kitchen for the Gloucestershire Wildlife Trust. There are 13 species of trees and shrubs in the surrounding hedges, 13 grass species and 98 vascular plants.
The two main species of interest are Wild Daffodil (Narcissus pseudonarcissus) formerly common throughout the area and Common Spotted Orchid (Dactylorhiza fuschii) growing abundantly in June. These flowers have survived because the ground has never (to our knowledge) been improved artificially, remaining as neutral grassland apart from being ploughed just after the Second World War, in order to plant the apple trees. Hay is cut and taken in late July each year to keep the fertility low.
A lichen survey is to be undertaken in July 2006 by Gloucestershire Naturalists Society Lichen Group.
