Julie and her team brought the summer bedding and a combined effort meant that all the beds have been planted out already. Thanks Julie, but it’s a shame about the grass! Lots more weeding, edging and ground preparation too.

Good luck guys!
Amazing transformation in the weather since yesterday! Wall to wall sunshine all morning and yesterdays rain made the ground perfect for planting. Unfortunately the rain has also made for perfect conditions for the never-ending supply of weeds in the park!

Loads more summer flowers are still to come out but there are some beauties already in bloom.






A glorious sunny morning at the park and decent turn-out too. Weeding, planting and a little watering too – yes, it really is that dry here.

There are nests in three or four of the bird boxes, very pleasing. Sorry about the photo, neither the camera nor the cameraman is good enough for this type of photo but you just can see the parent and the baby almost ready to leave.

We had a good turn-out on a fine warm morning yesterday. Lots done, including preparing for more herbaceous planting, loads of weeding and some general trimming and tidying.

Thanks Julie!

A really busy morning weeding and tidying. The weeds are right in the middle of their annual spring spurt but they took a bashing this morning and the Friends will prevail!



Not a big turnout today but we still did lots of weeding and tidying plus some planting in the nature trail. There’s still lots of colour but the park is suffering from the drought.
