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.

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.

Again we are proud to confirm that Millhouses Park was awarded Platinum status by Yorkshire in Bloom. As alway s big thank to all the hardworking park staff and Friends of Millhouses Park volunteers who made this possible.

Meet at the foot of the steps from Archer Road into Millhouses Park at 8am.

The leisurely walk through Millhouses Park and back through Hutcliffe Wood should take about two hours. All are welcome and there will be some pairs of binoculars to lend out on the day.
