Glorious sunshine aided our gardening session over the weekend and we had a great turnout. Thank you to everyone for your time and generosity.

So many late spring chores to do but we also sewed wildflower seeds, kindly donated by Grow Wild UK, in the meadow, including:

bladder campion, common knapweed, corn marigold, cowslip, foxglove, great mullein, lady’s bedstraw, musk mallow, red campion and

corn chamomile, salad barnet, wild basil, wild carrot, wild marjoram and

betony, corncockle, garlic mustard, hedge bedstraw, nettle-leaved bellflower, perforate St John’s Wort, ragged robin,  selfheal, upright hedge-parsley and

bird’s foot trefoil, common knapweed, crested dog’s tail, oxeye daisy, quaking grass and yarrow!

We had volunteers of all kinds helping to make this a beautiful, tranquil area of the park.

SNOW!

We realise the snow can make life difficult for some of our neighbours and testing for the birds but the park does look rather wonderful.

Please check on your neighbours to make sure they are warm and safe, and have enough food.

If all is well, take a look at these lovely photographs which Ray took earlier today.
