We were delighted to welcome two new volunteers today to boost our ranks depleted by the holiday season!

The never ending chore of weeding and edging the flowerbeds continued, with some new plants left over from our sale at Marple Carnival added too. As mentioned last time, we also added a new feature of two former hanging baskets donated to us by Friends of Rose Hill Station to either side of Danny Winter's bench. We are in the hands of park users here and we hope that they will be treated with respect and not interfered with or damaged.

Other tasks included replacing the Perspex in the Skatepark and library notice boards, the former being impossible to see through and the latter having been broken by someone. We also removed two trees from the Bandroom garden and started on a bit of a tidy-up for them that we'll hopefully finish next time.

Once again visitors to the park showed their appreciation by telling us how wonderful the flowerbeds are looking and chucking nearly £14 into our donation bucket. Thank you!
