A busy morning at the park which is looking wonderful just now. And we had unusual visitors – speckled wood butterflies!

Gardening on Saturday is at the usual time. There is, as always, plenty to do and lots to enjoy in the park. The forecast is “damp” but recent experience has undermined my confidence in the accuracy of Met Office local weather forecasts…
Please come along and help keep Starbank Park beautiful.



Gardening on Wednesday is the usual time, 10-11.30. Lots to do and a fair forecast. Please come along to help keep the park beautiful, enjoy the park and for elevenses.

The forecast is dry and warm, the garden is looking good and there’s lots to do. Please come along on Saturday morning and help keep Starbank Park beautiful.

It was a pretty good morning and lots was done in the park. The park is looking good and there are loads of flowers out but it did feel rather autumnal today.

Gardening on Saturday, usual time 10-11.30. The forecast looks promising and the summer rain means there’s plenty needing done, both weeding and tidying. Please come along to help if you can.

All the rain has ensured good strong weeds in the park – but we can take it! Lots of helpers, with our volunteers’ age range today spanning 87 years. It was a grey morning but there are plenty bright flowers to cheer us up!


Hopefully, the worst of the August rain is past. Forecast for Wednesday morning is cloudy but fair – not sure why I bother to look at the Met Office site after Saturday. No matter, there’s plenty to do, elevenses to finish, lots to enjoy in the park and maybe even some crops to pick, so please come along to help, usual time, 10-11.30.

We’ll be gardening on Saturday at the usual time, 10-11.30. Lots to do, as always this rainy year. Forecast is for heavy showers, but that may change by Saturday. Please come along if you can and at least enjoy the roses – not to mention all the other flowers.
