A fine busy morning today and the park is looking good. Many thanks to Julie Milne and Dave Dorward for coming down to discuss possible displays in the star next year.
The rest of us got stuck into weeding and tidying the Devlin Fountain, the Newhaven Heritage boat and the geraniums at the north wall. Another couple of barrow loads of weeds are now slowly composting.
And Janet found time to pick quite a few broad beans in the park this morning.
We found some tree-climbing molluscs this morning.
And are these evidence of other, more welcome, small creatures living in the park?
Lots to do and a decent weather forecast so please come along if you can.
We had a very pleasant wine and cheese evening on the 30th July to celebrate getting the Green Flag and Stan’s 84th birthday. It was sunny but unseasonably cool, so pretty good for July 2015. Over 40 people braved the chill and we all celebrated excellently, especially Stan!
Stan and his cake!
Celebrating
There’s a gardening session on Saturday, usual time, 10-11.30. There’s plenty to do, as always. Please come along if you can.
A stunning morning in the park, at least by this week’s standards, saw us weed and trim flower border edges. And we found time to celebrate Stan’s 84th birthday! The place is looking great for tomorrow’s wine and cheese celebration.
The Wednesday gardening session at the park is on, usual time. The forecast even says it’s going to be sunny!
There’s a member’s wine and cheese evening at the park to celebrate the Green Flag at 7.30 on Thursday, 27th July. Members only, but you can join on the night!
After all the excitement of the Green Flag, we have a Saturday Gardening Session from 10.00-11.30. There’s still lots to do, of course, and the weather forecast is fine, if not seasonably warm!
A good turn-out and a busy morning! We cleared loads of grass clippings and hedge clippings (thanks for cutting the hedge, Julie) and even found time for some weeding too. Oh! I nearly forgot, some coffee and cakes. The park is looking great!
