Volunteer Update and Activities: February 2025

Thank you to all who have volunteered in the Waterloo Seafront Gardens during January.

Despite the adverse weather our three garden maintenance sessions all went ahead and we have continued to work on clearing the pathways in Adelaide Garden, and on clearing the stream and overgrown rocks in Beach Lawn.

Thanks to everyone who came along to help with this afternoon’s volunteer session, despite the mist and rain!

We were back to path edging in Adelaide today. On the final bits of this task now – it’s a simple thing but looks impressive when finished.

This month we will be holding our annual pond clearing weekend on 15/16th February, starting at 1.30pm in Beach Lawn.  We have to complete any work on the pond before the end of February to avoid affecting the wildlife, and we hope to clear some more of the old reeds and plant some iris that have been donated to the group.

Our other sessions during February will take place on:

Saturday 8th – litter picking meeting at 10.30am in Beach Lawn
Tuesday 11th – garden maintenance meeting at 10.00am in Adelaide Garden
Saturday 15th and Sunday 16th – pond clearing in Beach Lawn at 1.30pm
Wednesday 26th – garden maintenance meeting at 1.00pm in Adelaide Garden.

All equipment will be provided, as well as refreshments.  If you have wellies or waders they would be useful for the pond clearing.
