Super day at the park. TCV came again to Starbank today. They dug over empty bedding borders, spread compost, weeded and did a marvellous job again! Many thanks to Tim and all his team for their help. They have made a big difference.
The park was looking good in the sunshine, with loads of colour and a few toadstools.

A big visit and damp gardening
Victoria Primary’s P2 classes visited the park this morning (with teachers). It’s the first step towards the Friends and the School working together to build a children’s nature trail beside the Laverockbank Road entrance. Very exciting!
It was a pretty dull and damp morning but there’s still lots of colour in the park. We even found time for some gardening before the rain came at 11.30, trimming the lavender bushes, preparing a boat planter for replanting and lots of tidying.
