Thank you to everyone who has volunteered in the Waterloo Seafront Gardens during June.  We had a total of 15 at our three garden maintenance sessions.

We have continued to work on clearing the stream to the pond in Beach Lawn and on the rockery area in Marine Garden.  At our Tuesday session we were pleased to be joined by a group of 11 volunteers from Crown Commercial Services who did some great work clearing ivy off the walls and weeding and tidying around all the benches in the centre of Crescent Garden.

Thanks to the wonderful group of volunteers who came along to work in the central area of Crescent Garden on Tuesday. They are remaining mysteriously anonymous but they cleared the low walls of ivy – which at some points had completely covered the brickwork. Well done!

Our volunteer sessions during July will take place on the following dates:

Tuesday 9th July – Garden Maintenance meeting at 9.30am next to the Cafe;
Saturday 13th July – Litter Picking at 10.30am in Adelaide Garden;
Sunday 21st July – Garden Maintenance meeting at 2.00pm in Beach Lawn;
Wednesday 24th July – Garden Maintenance meeting at 7.00pm at the Cafe.

All equipment for garden maintenance and litter picking will be provided, as well as refreshments.
