Gardening Session: Saturday 23rd May, 10.00-11.30

There’s a gardening session on Saturday 23rd, usual time, 10.00-11.30.  The forecast is good and the weeds are growing fast!  Please come along if you can.

Good luck to MyParkScotland who launch this weekend.  Our gardening sessions are part of the huge range of community activities in parks across Scotland.

At last, a Warm Wednesday!

It was a glorious, warm and productive morning although we did make time for coffee.  The spring colour has largely gone but clematis are starting to flower on the east wall.  The ferns are doing remarkably well, I think they have all survived their first few weeks at Starbank.  A special thanks to Bridget for bringing more ferns this morning.   The herbaceous borders and roses are thriving, too, and promise lots of colour in the summer.
