Thank you to everyone who came along to volunteer in the Waterloo Seafront Gardens during February.
Our pond work session in Beach Lawn was well attended, with 14 joining us on both Saturday and Sunday. We removed some more of the old reeds, cleared the new growth that has appeared over the last year and edged the grass growing around the edges of the whole pond. We also made sure to leave alone the oxygenating plants, lilies and iris, and some of the mat that dragonflies etc. will use for breeding. We also removed a fair quantity of bricks and other debris!
We had 12 at our litter pick in Beach Lawn, and 6 at our Wednesday garden maintenance session.
At our Tuesday session we were joined by pupils from three local schools, who did fantastic work (and worm rescuing!) helping us to continue with the edging of the paths in Adelaide Garden. We’re nearly half way along the “top” path now, and hopefully will have finished ALL the edges in Adelaide by the end of April. Fingers Crossed!
Our volunteers sessions during March will take place on:
Saturday 8th – Litter Picking in Potter’s Barn at 10.30am
Tuesday 11th – Garden Maintenance in Adelaide Garden at 10.00am
Sunday 16th – Garden Maintenance in Crescent Garden at 2.00pm and
Wednesday 26th – Garden Maintenance Adelaide Garden at 1.00pm.
All Equipment will be provided, as well as hot drinks and chocolate biscuits!
Looking forward to seeing you in the Gardens,
Best wishes,
