The grass areas make up ten acres of the 36-acre grounds and they feature heavily in Tom’s plans for long-term improvement. The various lawns serve numerous purposes at different times of the year. The Fellows’ Bowling Green, which lies hidden behind a high wall, has been in use since being laid out in 1647, whilst the two large areas either

So there are lots of challenges for Trinity’s lawns, but Tom has a long-term plan in place, with new seed mixtures, inputs and better turf maintenance. “The lawns are the key area where I want
to make a significant impact. in 2018, we distributed 30 tonnes of topdressing - that’s something we want to do regularly to make
the lawns healthier. We’re also talking to suppliers and getting a new grass seed mixture. It’s quite a challenge but, if we pull it off, we’ll have a stronger sward in the years to come. In the next four years I expect to see some results.” To help with turf maintenance, the College has invested in a Baroness aerator and a verti-cutter to go behind the compact tractors, and a Redexim overseeder. “We have gone from heavy pedestrian machinery that only one or two people could use to more nimble machines on the
