A great turnout on a lovely day! We planted bulbs, spread compost and collected rather a lot of leaves!! All a bit too much for Janet!

Children’s nature trail on track
The Friends of Starbank Park and Victoria Primary are working together to construct a children’s nature trail in Starbank Park. Plans for this exciting new development are well advanced. Our highly successful Halloween Party raised enough funds for us to bring forward our start date and we hope to start the construction work in the next few weeks. With fair weather, successful fund-raising and a bit of luck, it will be finished in the spring.
Perfect weather for planting and what are these fungi?
The heavy rain stopped just before 10 and we had a good morning replacing some summer bedding at the south end of the park with primulas and spring bulbs. There are still a few roses and fungi are still thriving, these are on a cherry tree lower trunk? Do you know what the are?
Wednesday Gardening Session: 4 November, 10-11.30
There’s a gardening session tomorrow, usual time. There’ still lots to do, planting and tidying. Weather forecast is a little iffy with early morning rain clearing during the morning. But it never rains on a Wednesday!!
Huge turn-out on Halloween
It was a wonderful Halloween Party. Over 200 children and at least as many adults came along. The weather was terrific and everything went remarkably well, especially given the much larger than expected numbers. Many thanks to all who came along, the volunteers at the stalls who were all brilliant, Asda for all their generous gifts and to Janet for organising it all.
Warm and sunny forecast for our Halloween Party
The Met Office says it will be warm and sunny for our Halloween Party tomorrow (3-5pm for age 3-8).
Dark, damp but productive
There was a heavy shower around 10, not good news. But it soon dried although it remained dark and damp. We helped Julie and her team plant the winter bedding (under Rocco’s supervision) and we cleaned out the bothies, ready for the Halloween Party on Saturday. The Autumn leaves still look fabulous.
