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!
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.
It’s time for the final touches to the park for the Keep Scotland Beautiful announcements on Thursday! Please come if you can.
Weeds are growing fast and the forecast is good. Please come along if you can.
There’s a gardening Session on Saturday, 10.00-11.30. Please come along if you can.
Britain’s largest cruise liner was moored off Newhaven this morning. It is massive! We had to cross Starbank Road to see it but we did get a good view of the launches shuttling back and forward to Newhaven while we were gardening.
Britannia seemed to overshadow Inchkeith

It rained until 9.30 this morning and then started again around 12, giving us a pleasant and dry morning for our gardening session, although we did need to shelter during our post session coffee and cakes. There was a good turnout and we got through loads of work. The park is looking good. All the borders are now planted out and we’re just about keeping the weeds at bay.
The park is looking good but there’s plenty to do to keep it smart.
There’s a Saturday morning gardening session at the park, usual time, 10.00-11.30.
We’d a good turn out on a fine morning. We did lots, and despite the weeds growing fast in the warm weather the Park’s still looking good, despite the long grass!
