Beauchief Gardens Weeding Event
Working in conjunction with our Park Keeper Andy Varley, who also looks after Beauchief Gardens where we have had a long standing gardening role, we had our most recent working day last week. Nick Clegg and Family joined us and have to say stayed over 90 minutes and cleared quite a big area of rockery.
Pete Stow is co-ordinating our environmental work in Beauchief Gardens and will be announcing our future dates up there soon.

Nick Clegg Volunteers to Get Hands Dirty in Aid of Beauchief Gardens
Today Nick Clegg, Liberal Democrat Sheffield Hallam MP, pitched in to help local environmental volunteers at a Sheffield beauty spot.
Nick and local Lib Dem councillor Colin Ross joined the Friends of Millhouses Park at Beauchief Gardens to help with gardening duties.
The work is part of the Friends on-going commitment to maintain the Gardens, which were donated to the city by the J. G. Graves Trust in 1935 and are situated next to Beauchief Dam.
The level of care had declined up until the 1990s, until the Friends of Millhouses Park stepped in to restore the Gardens.
Nick said:-
“It was a pleasure to help the Friends of Millhouses Park and Park Ranger team at Beauchief Gardens.
“It is easy to take Sheffield’s many green and open spaces for granted. But it is worth remembering that we only have these beauty spots because of volunteer’s hard work right across our City.
“They all deserve our upmost gratitude and there is no better way to show support than getting your hands dirty and joining in.”
John Brighton, Secretary of Friends of Millhouses Park said:-
“We rely on volunteers to carry out our work so it is always great to see people turn out to help at events like this. We hold them throughout the year and I would urge people to come along to have fun and help out.”
