Spring has Sprung in the Park

Now we have a bit of sunshine we have some great flowers and blossom in the park, highlighting some of the projects we have been involved with.

We have our first blossom in the edible arboretum (by the carpark at the southern end of the park), the crocus heart is in full bloom (by the fish pass) and the witch hazel in the sensory garden. Make sure you don’t miss them if you are in the park.

Wetland work

Our five intrepid volunteers spent a morning Wellie deep in mud, sprucing up our wetland area for the coming year. We are so pleased with how the area has evolved since we first started the project, and the amount of interest it generates from park users.

The surrounds of the ponds will be sown with a wild flower mix and the surrounding hedges inside the fencing have really bedded in well.
