A glorious morning with loads going on in the park, weeding, digging, pruning, tidying and coffee! A surprising number of plants are still flowering and the park is looking good!

Saturday Gardening Session, 15th August, 10.00-11.30
Saturday’s gardening session is from 10.00-11.30. There’s lots to do and the weather forecast for Saturday morning is fine. Please come along if you can.
More ferns!
We had an excellent turn-out again on Wednesday. We planted more ferns in the fernery (many thanks to David and Stella from Kevock Garden Plants) and some peonies in the east border. Then more weeding and trimming. Ian Ross made a great job of sharpening the tools, many thanks to him and to Sue of Asda who raised the cash.
Sunshine and only a little rain
A stunning morning in the park, at least by this week’s standards, saw us weed and trim flower border edges. And we found time to celebrate Stan’s 84th birthday! The place is looking great for tomorrow’s wine and cheese celebration.
At last, a Warm Wednesday!
It was a glorious, warm and productive morning although we did make time for coffee. The spring colour has largely gone but clematis are starting to flower on the east wall. The ferns are doing remarkably well, I think they have all survived their first few weeks at Starbank. A special thanks to Bridget for bringing more ferns this morning. The herbaceous borders and roses are thriving, too, and promise lots of colour in the summer.

Glorious Morning
Terrific morning, it was warm with wall to wall sunshine. We weeded and weeded and planted a few more ferns (thank you Bridget). The park is looking good, with the tulips and primulas, in particular, fantastic.
