We are so very proud to announce that the London in Bloom incentive has awarded us with a Silver Gilt in The London in Bloom Small Conservation Area of the Year – up to 5 acres category.
The Annual Awards is where London in Bloom celebrates the efforts of London’s boroughs, communities, businesses and individuals who do so much to make London a special place to live, work and visit.
We hope our certificate will soon be on display at the Beethoven Centre and we would like to thank everyone who has made a contribution to our efforts in the Wildlife Area, from the QPCC to Quinn’s contractors, the various people who have supplied wood chip and tree rounds, seeds and tools, but most of all we would like to thank the local residents who turn out in all weathers to maintain the area as a place for everyone to enjoy.
If you’ve been working hard with us in Queen’s Park Gardens, you’ll have earned your Time Credits. There’s a new brochure available to help you decide how to spend them.

We were busy again last weekend. Tasks included planting primroses and spreading gravel around the woodland walk. We had a good turn out and the weather stayed dry until we finished at 1pm.
Earlier in the week we planted some bluebell and wild garlic bulbs.

Once again, this year’s Summer Festival was blessed with fine weather and a lot of fun for everyone. We met so many wonderful families and residents.
Did you visit us? Did you complete our quiz to win a chocolate bug or did you vote for what you’d like to see in the empty space?
