On Friday, the College community came together to take part in our 'Wildflowers for Wellbeing' event. 🌷🌻🍃 Students were invited to help the College gardeners plant a variety of bulbs in our wildflower meadow, including Narcissus pseudonarcissus, also known as the wild daffodil or Lent lily. Special thanks to College Nurse Rachael Arkle for helping to organise the afternoon as part of the College's welfare and wellbeing support. We look forward to reaping the rewards in the Spring! #WildflowersForWellbeing #GardeningTogether #WildflowerMeadow #WellbeingSupport #GoldenHour @Cambridgeuniversity

At 11am today, members of the King’s community joined together in a two-minute silence, to remember those lost in all conflicts. Posted @withregram • @cambridgeuniversity Today is Armistice Day, marking the end of the fighting of World War I. At 11AM, we join the nation in a two-minute silence so that we may remember the service and sacrifice of all those who died. Image description: poppies in King’s College wildflower meadow
