There’s a gardening session on Saturday, usual time, 10-11.30. Please come along to help if you can.
After the huge efforts from the TCV team yesterday, this morning we finished planting the daffodils and geraniums down the bank. It was hard going but an infusion of Australian youth helped dig lots of holes for bulbs and plants in rough ground. Many thanks, Michael. Park is looking good this autumn with lots of colour still. Not to mention the odd tayberry, too.
TCV (The Conservation Volunteers) brought a team to Starbank Park on Tuesday. They did a super job clearing the giant weeds beside the walls on the slope. They planted lots of daffodils and geraniums in the cleared areas. Many thanks to Tim Lewis and his team.

I’m back! More weeding and tidying yesterday as you can see from the picture! The Park is looking excellent, the new herbaceous borders are looking tremendous, the latest boat planter is maturing well and we’ve even got our flagpole for the Green Flag!
We had our stand at Trinity Community Gala on Sunday. It was a glorious day, there were lots of people there and we had a great time. We spoke to loads of people, sold a trays of plants, the local kids sowed loads of seeds in old paper cups and we even got a good number of new members. Many thanks to Christine and the Wardie Church team for their tremendous efforts organising such a wonderful event.
There’s a gardening session in the park on Wednesday, usual time. Forecast is fair so please come along if you can.
