A glorious autumn morning in the park. We planted bulbs, organised the compost, weeded, pruned and enjoyed the weather. We even found a rather fat frog!
Sunshine and warmth

Daffodils, geraniums and a splash of colour
After the huge efforts from the TCV team yesterday, this morning we finished planting the daffodils and geraniums down the bank. It was hard going but an infusion of Australian youth helped dig lots of holes for bulbs and plants in rough ground. Many thanks, Michael. Park is looking good this autumn with lots of colour still. Not to mention the odd tayberry, too.
TCV at the Park
TCV (The Conservation Volunteers) brought a team to Starbank Park on Tuesday. They did a super job clearing the giant weeds beside the walls on the slope. They planted lots of daffodils and geraniums in the cleared areas. Many thanks to Tim Lewis and his team.
