We found some tree-climbing molluscs this morning.
And are these evidence of other, more welcome, small creatures living in the park?

Wednesday Gardening Session: 5 August, 10-11.30
Lots to do and a decent weather forecast so please come along if you can.
Celebrating the Green Flag
We had a very pleasant wine and cheese evening on the 30th July to celebrate getting the Green Flag and Stan’s 84th birthday. It was sunny but unseasonably cool, so pretty good for July 2015. Over 40 people braved the chill and we all celebrated excellently, especially Stan!
Stan and his cake!

Green Flag for Starbank Park!
Starbank Park now has a Green Flag! Bruce Robertson of Keep Scotland Beautiful presented Starbank Park’s Green Flag to Alastair Robertson and Janet McArthur yesterday in Starbank Park. There was a good turn-out on a fine sunny morning (well, until it was coffee time!), the park was looking great and we got loads of publicity from STV and the Evening News.

Tidying for Tomorrow
A good turn-out and a busy morning! We cleared loads of grass clippings and hedge clippings (thanks for cutting the hedge, Julie) and even found time for some weeding too. Oh! I nearly forgot, some coffee and cakes. The park is looking great!
Overtime at the Park
We did a bit extra tidying in the park this morning before Thursday’s Keep Scotland Beautiful announcements. The flower borders are looking really good. The summer bedding is full of colour, the fernery is well-established and new herbaceous borders are flourishing.
We saw one of our resident frogs, a butterfly or two and some busy bees.
