Queen’s Park Gardens’ Summer Festival

This year’s Summer Festival was another wonderful success.
We had our own little table inside the Wildlife Area. So many families and individuals were happy to say hello. Some people just came to relax in the peaceful surroundings for a while.
We had a little treasure hunt for the younger gardeners and lots of new people signed up for our gardening information. If you picked up a leaflet, you can join our mailing list here. We only send mails once in a while to let you know when we are going to be working in the park.

Here are some photos from the Wildlife Area.

We are always thrilled to see what the lovely children of Cheeky Rascals Child Minding group have been up to in the Wildlife Area.  They have such fun and use all of the park to it’s best advantage.  Wendy Hutt wrote this piece for the Queen’s Park Voice about their sponsored walk and picnic.

Preparing for Queen’s Park Gardens’ Festival

Gallery, Local Community, Open Spaces, Queen's Park Gardens, Wildlife Area

DSCN4434.jpgWe’re opening the Wildlife Area for everyone to enjoy on Saturday. You can meet some of the regular gardeners, pick up information and have a look at what we’re doing. We may even have something fun for the kids to do.

The Cheeky Rascals Childminders Group have also made some fun contributions to area but out latest project has been the Grand Marigold Bug Hotel. This project has been close to the heart of the main driving force of the Friends group, Ray. He sourced most of the materials and even found a lovely container which we have made into a roof terrace for the hotel.

Last weekend, we were finally able to plant it in preparation for everyone to see it during the Festival.

Due to the kindness of a donation from the head gardener at the Royal College of Physician Garden of Medicinal Plants we were able to fill it with wonderful indigenous flowers that will attract bees, bugs and butterflies.

Ray has also spread some more bark in the hotel area to make it easier to walk around.
