Sunny Days at Starbank

A great weekend and the Park was looking lovely.  Even the bumble bees were out in the sunshine.

Starbank Park was Beautiful Today

Everything looks better in the sun and the Starbank Park is no exception.  Primulas and daffodils are looking great (and there are loads more to come).  The pink hyacinths are looking great, the bergenias are the best they’ve been in the park and there’s even a Michaelmas daisy flowering!  And then there are the views.

A Busy, Sunny Morning

An unexpected bonus of a sunny morning led to a good turn-out and lots done.  There was loads of weeding and huge progress was made with the bird boxes, you can see Sandy grafting away!

A special thanks to Stan who has extended the side border down to the gate, on his own!  A huge improvement and not bad for 84½.

Good Nature Trail Progress

The marsh area is now prepared for “The Ugly Duckling”, we’ve started planting and we have made progress on the path with wood chips between the stepping stones!

Fine and Sunny

We had a surprise sunny morning after miserable weather forecast.  We had a good turn out, getting on with the marsh garden in the nature trail, some weeding and tidying and a seed planting session, all before we sank a few coffees!
