Derrington Millennium Green is located approximately one mile south-west of the town of Stafford, within the Parish of Seighford. In 1998 the land was bought collectively by Derrington village through money raised by millennium grants and converted to a public open space. The land includes a small meadow covering a total of 1.92 hectares, which has undergone hay strewing to create a more diverse grassland sward. As part of this process 6 inches of top soil was removed exposing the subsoil. The soil remains on site and has been distributed on the edges of the site, creating banks on which trees have been planted as part of a tree planting scheme. The land also includes a small pond, a herb garden and a willow maze. The diversity of species typical of lowland unimproved hay meadows which have colonised following hay strewing has lead to the meadow being designated as a Site of Biological Importance (SBI).

It is known that prior to 1965 the meadow was in arable production, following which it was reverted to grassland and cattle grazed throughout the year with very little fertiliser input. In 2000 the meadow was hay strewn, with hay sourced from the National Nature Reserve and Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) Mottey Meadows, situated approximately 1.5 miles north-west of Wheaton Aston. Mottey Meadows supports an alluvial flood meadow, overlying free-draining soils which are subject to winter flooding. The grassland at Mottey Meadows is typically rich in species and is predominantly characteristic of the MG4 Meadow Foxtail-Great Burnet (Alopecurus pratensis-Sanguisorba officinalis) grassland National Vegetation Classification (NVC) Community. Following hay strewing the meadow at Derrington Millenium Green has undergone a cutting regime, with late cutting carried out to promote re-seeding by later flowerers and the arisings left in situ, with no after-math grazing. The meadow has a species-rich and diverse sward of grasses and herbs. Amongst the grasses crested dog's-tail is the most abundant and, sweet-vernal grass, yellow oat-grass, common bent, Yorkshire fog, meadow foxtail, quaking grass are all frequent with perennial-rye grass less frequent and in smaller amounts. Hard, jointed and soft rush occur patchily at a low frequency, with sedges and field woodrush abundant in the stand. Carnation sedge and glaucous sedge form sedge lawns particularly in the slightly sloping areas towards the northern end of the field.

Rosette species such as common catsear, ribwort plantain, autumnal hawkbit, hoary plantain, daisy and fox and cubs are prominent, these are overtopped by species such as great burnet, field scabious, betony, common knapweed, oxeye daisy and devil's bit scabious which are for the majority frequent. Fairy flax, creeping buttercup, hop trefoil, lesser stitchwort are also plentiful with smaller amounts of lady's bedstraw, common bird's-foot trefoil and selfheal. Yellow rattle is also frequent, this is an ideal plant for meadows being semi-parasitic on grass results in it keeping the grasses in check by feeding off their roots. Unlike most meadow flowers, this is an annual and is thus dependent on producing enough seed for the next year. Common spotted orchids and southern-marsh orchids also create a spectacular display occurring patchily amongst the sward
