Many of the City's green areas are currently being cultivated ready for sowing of the wild flower seeds, which received immense praise last summer.
This year Gloucester will be brightened up with wildflower planting in eighteen areas across the City, an additional ten sites than the previous year.
To keep the urban meadows weed free the City Council's Streetcare Partner, Enterprise are trialling a new product which will get to the root of the problem of weeds in an environmentally friendly way.
The new method uses hot water, steam and foam to rid an area of weeds and is safe to use where harmful chemicals cannot, including parks and open spaces as well as close to watercourses.
Ross Cook, Group Manager for Housing and Neighbourhood Services, Gloucester City Council said: "We are always interested in looking at new and innovative ways of maintaining the appearance of the City.
"In this process hot water and steam are applied to the weed and a foam acts as a blanket, keeping the heat on the weed long enough to kill it. The weed dies in minutes and the foam slowly disappears.
"The process is quick and as it does not involve spraying.
"Our Streetcare Partner, Enterprise wanted to look at this pioneering way of controlling weed growth and so arranged the demonstration of this equipment with a view to it being introduced it in parts of the City."
The colourful blooms of the wild flower planting not only help to make areas more appealing, but are also attractive to the declining bee population.
Gloucester was crowned the first Bee Guardian City from the Bee Guardian Foundation last year and following the pioneering work in the city, the foundation has been approached to run similar campaigns for towns and cities across the UK.
Jessie Jowers from the Bee Guardian Foundation said: "Planting wild flowers around the city had such a positive response from people, bringing colour to road sides, parks and other community green spaces.
"We hope this year the community will be pleased again, along with the bee population who will have a colourful sea of nectar and pollen to enjoy."
