Gardening Club News

  Two years ago the club received a grant from Love Your Park:

 

Angela Hogg reports on progress since then:

  • Passers-by and local residents stop to tell us how they appreciate the gardens; they walk by deliberately to see what's new each week.
  • The funding has spurred others to raise funds for a wildlife garden on the estate. This includes raised beds so that club members with access issues can join in fully.
  • Redcliffe Church, Community Hub and FaithSpace jointly ran a Fun Day 2 weeks ago. Children made bird feeders for the gardens and a one-off volunteer did sterling work on the rock garden with me.
  • We have new group members
  • The wonderful thing: in winter when the summer growth goes we will still have all the shrubs with their berries, colourful foliage and diverse shapes to maintain interesting gardens to enjoy till next Spring.
