Volunteer Update and Activities: October 2025
September has been another busy month for the Friends of Waterloo Seafront Gardens, although sadly for the first time in 10 years we had to cancel our Autumn Fete. We’d been keeping a close eye on the weather forecast all week and decided on Friday evening that we couldn’t risk having gazebos/marquees up in the predicted gusty winds for Saturday afternoon. I think we were all slightly relieved when heavy periods of rain and wind did arrive!!
We were joined by corporate volunteers from the Home Office and BDO (an audit and accounting firm) at 3 garden maintenance sessions, when they worked in Marine Garden on the steps and crazy paving area – they’ve done a fantastic job and some areas of the paving have seen the light of day for the first time in many years! We have included some before and after photos below. There is still a section to be cleared, so we will tackle that at our October sessions.
At our Sunday maintenance session 8 of our regular volunteers worked in Adelaide Garden, weeding the central round bed and finishing the edging and clearing of the top path. It’s taken us nearly a year to make our way around the whole of the pathway around Adelaide – our version of the Forth Railway Bridge!
Our volunteer sessions during October will take place on:
Saturday 11th – 10.30am Litter Picking in Potters Barn
Tuesday 14th – 10.00am working on the crazy paving in Marine Garden
Sunday 19th – 2.00pm working on the central bed in Crescent Garden and
Wednesday 22nd – 1.00pm working on the crazy paving in Marine Garden
All equipment will be provided, as well as refreshments at the end of each session.
Hoping to see you in the gardens in October.
Best wishes,
Janet Markland
Friends of Waterloo Seafront Gardens
