Glorious morning, a good turnout and lots of work done! The park is looking good and the primulas are really colourful. We weeded, spread leaf mould and did a lot more on the children’s nature trail which is really taking shape and is being tested.
The Wednesday Gardening Session on this week, 10-11.30 as usual. The forecast is fair and there’s plenty to do. Please come along if you can.
Louise Dunne from Resourcing Scotland’s Heritage came to the park on Tuesday morning to make a short video as part of a series of videos on crowdfunding campaigns. Despite the weather, Louise interviewed three of us and we had a successful and pleasant morning. Louise describes her visit in http://www.resourcingscotlandsheritage.org/blog/2016/02/what-a-star/.

There’s a gardening session on Saturday. Lots to do, including the nature trail, and a fair weather forecast. Please come along if you can.
We had a good turnout on a glorious winter’s morning. There were lots of bits of branches to clear after Gertrude and Henry had done their worst, we have put the potted irises into the sunshine and got on with the nature trail. And, because the weather is so good, the bergenias are flowering!
We’re making good progress with our nature trail. Most of the stepping stones have been laid and we’ll soon be preparing the ground for our first area of themed planting. Bird boxes are being assembled and insect hotels readied. There’s plenty of time for you to help, either volunteering on a Wednesday or a Saturday, or by donating through the MyParkScotland website at http://www.mypark.scot/projects/childrens-nature-trail/.
There’s a gardening session tomorrow, usual time, 10-11.30. There is lots to do and the weather forecast is quite good with storm Henry being replaced by light winds and sunshine, apparently…
A daffodil in January, surely not in this weather! And the primulas are looking good too.
There’s a Saturday Gardening session this week, 10-11.30. There’s lots to do! The Met Office says it will be cold, windy and showery, but there again, they said yesterday would be dry from 10!
Not a morning for gardening.
