Children’s Nature Trail: Counting the Votes

P2 at Victoria Primary have spoken.  The votes are in and being counted.  We’ll soon know which flowers have been elected for “The Snow Queen” story area.

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!

Progress with the Nature Trail

A good turn out again on a cold sunny morning.  Preparations are well in hand for the first story area in the children’s nature trail.  This morning we cleared and replanted shrubs and bulbs before dug out the area for the mini-marsh ready for the “Ugly Duckling”.

Victoria Primary P2 visits the nature trail

We had lunchtime visitors in the park day when Victoria Primary P2s came to the park to test the nature trail.  They had a great time on the stepping stones (now all laid!) and sewing seeds for summer planting.  It was very educational for the Friends as some pupils used the unusual Unicorn seed sewing method.
