The main focus of effort today was on widening of the borders either side of the Woodland Reading Circle pathway. This improvement will hopefully give the borders a better opportunity to grow and took advantage of the availability of lots of Polyanthus from the Jubilee Bed in front of the library. We will soon be embarking on re-planting of the Jubilee Bed and some of the Polyanthus were transplanted to the pathway and some to the Infants Play Area. The latter also received a good pruning to the shrubs around the fence-line.
Other tasks completed include the application of a 5 Star wood treatment to the Tree Sculpture to combat woodworm that has recently become apparent. There was also more treatment of benches, including making a start on the Boules Court benches, and the fitting of the final plaque to the refurbished picnic benches at the Recreation Ground.
Marple Allotment Society's bed is really flourishing and a sign has been fitted encouraging people to sample the produce!
