Thank you to everyone who came along to volunteer in the Waterloo Seafront Gardens during August. We had 14 at our three garden maintenance sessions and 19 at a very windy litter pick in the children’s play park!
A first for us this month was to be offered the chance, by the Merseyside Civic Society, to have a raised bed display at the Southport Flower Show. We were sponsored by Magill’s Nursery and didn’t really know what to expect but were pleased with the result – and have lots of ideas now for next year!
Our big event of the year – our Autumn Fete – is due to take place on Saturday 13th September between 12.00 and 4.00pm. We will have our own plant, book and refreshment stalls and coconut shy, as well as community stalls, children’s activities, bouncy castles and live music from the Happy Tuesdays, a local ukulele group who meet weekly at the Victoria Hotel.
If you’re able to come along and help us set up and take down, or to volunteer at one of our stalls please let us know.
Our volunteer sessions this month will take place on:
Tuesday 9th September at 10.00am in Marine Garden
Saturday 13th September – from 9.30am in Marine Garden
Sunday 21st September at 2.00pm in Adelaide Garden and
Wednesday 24th September at 1.00pm in Adelaide Garden
Looking forward to seeing you during September,
Best wishes,
