Task Day 31 May 2025
Sunny Saturday at the Flower Beds!
We were blessed with good weather again at our latest task day. The rain had helped to get everything growing again, including the weeds! We had plenty of things to plant too. Firstly some more of our volunteers brought some of the cosmos they'd grown at home from seeds we'd supplied. We also had a very generous donation of bulbs from Dobbie's in Otterspool. It's a bit late for some of them but even if they don't flower this year, we'll see them next year.
Other jobs include tidying the beds including the memorial bed and those around the clematis at the bowling green fence, some sapling maintenance, general tidying and mowing work at the Band Room, litter picking, edge trimming and plenty of weeding, both on the beds and on the pathways.
Thanks for all the well-wishers' comments as they passed by. It is always appreciated!
