We had quite a few visitors yesterday, John McLellan of Keep Scotland Beautiful, Sarah who was filming on behalf of the Power of Food Festival and, in the evening, Wardie Church Rainbows replanted the Newhaven Heritage boat. But it was not all entertainment, we did some planting and weeding too.

The Rainbows
Really calm after the rain yesterday morning
There’s a gardening session on Wednesday, plenty to do and a reasonable forecast. Please come along if you can.
Most of the rosemary bushes on the terrace round the lavender had died so we’ve given up on them and added a splash of colour. Many thanks Neil and Stan.
There are still plenty tulips too.
Graeme Murray has made two excellent new videos of Starbank Park.

Only 4 days left but only £40 to raise before we reach our £5200 target on MyParkScotland http://www.mypark.scot/projects/childrens-nature-trail/.
Many thanks to all who have given already and to all those who have supported our fundraising events.
You can see the Starbank cherry trees from David Lloyd’s at Newhaven!
The perennial geraniums at the front are just starting to flower, with a nice backdrop of cut grass. Thanks Julie!
If you’re not gardening at Starbank Park tomorrow, why not go to the BB Coffee Morning at Newhaven Church. There are loads of plants, cakes and coffee.
