New Year Gardening and Bird Boxes
It was a cold, windy but fair morning, so pretty good by the standards of 2016. We’d a good turn out of volunteers, all weeding, tidying and pruning.
And special thanks to Sinclair Campbell for cutting the wood for the bird boxes, which will be assembled in the next few weeks.
Wednesday Gardening Session: 6 January, 10-11.30
Forecast is fair and there’s lots to do, from building bird boxes to weeding, so please come along to the Wednesday Gardening session if you can.
Last Wednesday Gardening of 2015, 30 December, 10-11.30
Last Gardening session of the year is on Wednesday, usual time. The forecast is awful, but you never know!
Coffee and Christmas lunch and some gardening
The grass and paths are now almost clear of leaves as we managed to squeeze in a bit of gardening before coffee. It was sunny and easily warm enough for coffees in the Park. 19 volunteers followed up with Christmas Lunch at the Old Chain Pier. Lunch was excellent: good food, excellent service, fine views and mercifully few photos.
Happy Christmas TCV and thank you for your help
TCV’s team came at short notice today and did a huge amount of work. They are a great team and good to be with. They cleared tons of leaves from the bottom half of the park and the grass will be able to breathe again!
The end of a hard day. The team collected at least 20 tonne bags of leaves
Hardly a leaf in sight!
Christmas Coffee Morning and, maybe, some gardening
Wednesday, 16 December
10.30-11.30
Tea, Coffee, Mince Pies and, if the weather is good, a bit of gardening!
First frost of the winter
It was a fine morning, but the first real frost of the winter in Trinity.
Saturday Gardening Session, 12 December, 10-11.30
There’s a Saturday gardening session this week, usual time. There’s a lot to do and the forecast looks OK for the morning, please come along if you can.
Leaves, lupin, Christmas tree, tulips and squirrels
We’d a great turn out for a winter’s day. We’ve now cleared almost all the leaves from the grass, the Christmas tree was looking good (before the gale!) and there is still a remarkable amount of colour, including fuchsias and a very confused lupin. Bad news was that squirrels have been gorging themselves on tulip bulbs planted in pots. We should have known! We’ve rescued quite a lot and we hope the gluttonous squirrels don’t learn to open the cold frame!
