The Queen’s Park Summer Festival was a great success in spite of the unsettled weather. We were lucky enough to have the shelter of the trees in the Wildlife Area.
Thank you to everyone who came to say hello, took part in our quiz and/or the snail races. We hope you all had fun. The lovely ladies next to us were doing some incredibly colourful work with t-shirts and dye.
Just Add Spice have published their latest Time Credits brochure with lots of new ways to spend your hard-earned Time Credits.
You can look at it here or right-click to download (Mac users alt-click).
There are many ways to earn Time Credits and participating bodies are listed at the end of the booklet. You’ll see our name there among them.
For many of our gardeners, Time Credits are a lovely added bonus to the pleasure they get from working with their neighbours to create a place the local community can enjoy. Some volunteers just like to get their hands a little bit muddy once in a while!
Whatever your reasons for joining us, Time Credits present the opportunity to do new things and meet new people, a bit like our gardening sessions.
Please check (and bookmark!) this area of our website to find out when the next session will be or ask to go on our mailing list, to receive an email reminder a few days before we garden.
Thanks to our Community Council, the wonderful Crissie Chambers is able to give FREE advice and another one of her legendary sessions. Make a note of the date!

Saturday 22nd April 2017 12 – 4pm in Queen’s Park Gardens …
We could not have asked for better weather on Saturday. Our main work was in the triangular bed where the weeds seem to grow the fastest but we had a fantastic turnout of willing hands to help.
We are always looking for new volunteers and we’re happy if you can only spare an hour. If you do more than that, we’ll make sure you have a break with some chocolate and water, to revive your energy levels.
We will be gardening next on 10th June but sign up for our newsletter in case we schedule any more sessions in between.
The park is looking spectacular this Spring and we hope you had a chance to enjoy it over the weekend.
The tulips are still blooming around the shrub by the Third Avenue gate.
Even though the crocus blooms have faded, we think the heart shape still looks very cheerful on the bank.
