Volunteer Update and Activities: February 2026
Thank you to everyone who joined us in the Gardens in January. I think for the first time ever we had to cancel two gardening sessions in a row because of wet weather, but for our final session of the month we had lovely blue skies and 9 of us worked on edging and cutting back in Crescent Garden. We also had 12 at our litter pick in Adelaide Garden.
As it is February, we will be having our annual pond clearing sessions in Beach Lawn over the weekend of Saturday 7th and Sunday 8th starting at 1.30pm and continuing until we get too cold! We’ll work on removing new growth of the reeds and cutting out some of the older sections.
We have until the end of February to work on the pond, being aware that we need to consider the breeding seasons of the pond wildlife, and will be leaving any reed debris on the grass for a few days so that wildlife can migrate back to the pond if necessary. We can also work on cutting back brambles and ivy in Beach Lawn if you don’t want to get wet!
Our regular volunteer sessions during February will take place on:
Tuesday 10th – meeting at 10.00am in the far corner of Crescent Garden
Saturday 14th – Litter picking at 10.30am in Beach Lawn
Sunday 15th – meeting at 2.00pm in Marine Garden and
Wednesday 25th – meeting at 1.00pm in the far corner of Crescent Garden
All equipment will be provided, as well as hot drinks and biscuits.
Looking forward to seeing you in the Gardens,
Best wishes,
Janet Markland
