Volunteer update and Activities: March 2024

Thank you to everyone who came along to our volunteer sessions in the Waterloo Seafront Gardens during February.

We had twelve volunteers at our Saturday session, when we litter picked and did some weeding around the steps in Beach Lawn.

Reminder that our litter pick this month will take place tomorrow Saturday 10th February in Beach Lawn Garden, meeting at 10:30am under the shelter near the pond.

We will clean up Beach Lawn Garden and, depending on volunteer numbers, spread out into Adelaide and Crescent Gardens.

We will finish at around 11:30 with tea and biscuits.

All equipment is provided and all are welcome to come along and join in.

Our volunteer sessions in March will take place on the following.

Litter picking:

Saturday 9th at 10.30am – in Potter’s Barn.

Gardening:

Tuesday 12th at 9.30am – meeting outside Marine Garden near Waterloo Sunset Cafe.
Sunday 17th at 2pm – Marine Garden. See below.
Wednesday 27th at 1.00pm – meeting outside Marine Garden near Waterloo Sunset Cafe.
 
All equipment, and refreshments, will be provided. 

We are also pleased to partner with Sefton Hearts at 50 and Britain in Bloom’s 60th anniversary to celebrate the place our gardens have in community and friendship. We are hosting a guided walk of the gardens on Sunday 17th March from 2pm to 4pm. We are keen to hear your stories and record these for future generations – washed down with some tea and cake! Meet at 2pm at the South Road entrance of Marine Garden. If you are unable to join, please feel free to reply with your memories and how these gardens have helped your friendships. Our intention is to collate these memories and include them on our public website.
