Amazing transformation in the weather since yesterday! Wall to wall sunshine all morning and yesterdays rain made the ground perfect for planting. Unfortunately the rain has also made for perfect conditions for the never-ending supply of weeds in the park!
We had a good turn-out on a fine warm morning yesterday. Lots done, including preparing for more herbaceous planting, loads of weeding and some general trimming and tidying.
Gardening is on Saturday, usual time. There’s plenty to do, especially weeding! The forecast looks reasonable after a miserable early morning so please come along if you can. The eider duck was just outside Newhaven Harbour, both pictures were taken yesterday evening.
A really busy morning weeding and tidying. The weeds are right in the middle of their annual spring spurt but they took a bashing this morning and the Friends will prevail!
Not a big turnout today but we still did lots of weeding and tidying plus some planting in the nature trail. There’s still lots of colour but the park is suffering from the drought. 
A fine morning at the park saw yet more weeding and tidying! It’s looking good!
Lots to do to get ready for Friday’s Easter Egg Hunt, not to mention the gardening! The Met Office forecast is for a dry morning with sunny intervals so please come along if you can.
Another dry day forecast and a beautiful park. There’s always plenty to do to keep it that way, so please come along to our gardening morning from 10-11.30 on Saturday.
