A glorious sunny morning again in the park. The top section looks good, reflecting all our work but the grass on the slopes and near the sea is showing serious signs of wear.

Progress with the Nature Trail
A good turn out again on a cold sunny morning. Preparations are well in hand for the first story area in the children’s nature trail. This morning we cleared and replanted shrubs and bulbs before dug out the area for the mini-marsh ready for the “Ugly Duckling”.

Cold weather doesn’t stop us!
Lots of volunteers and lots done on a cold, damp morning. We cut back bushes, trimmed, weeded and produced a load of woody prunings.

Victoria Primary P2 visits the nature trail
We had lunchtime visitors in the park day when Victoria Primary P2s came to the park to test the nature trail. They had a great time on the stepping stones (now all laid!) and sewing seeds for summer planting. It was very educational for the Friends as some pupils used the unusual Unicorn seed sewing method.

Another glorious winter morning!
Glorious morning, a good turnout and lots of work done! The park is looking good and the primulas are really colourful. We weeded, spread leaf mould and did a lot more on the children’s nature trail which is really taking shape and is being tested.
