Volunteer Update and Activities: August 2025
Thank you to everyone who joined us in volunteering in the Waterloo Seafront Gardens during July.
Our gardening sessions were busy in July, with corporate volunteers joining us from the Animal and Plant Health Agency, and Crown Commercial Services at our Tuesday and Wednesday sessions, in addition to 10 and 11 members of our own group. We continued to work on edging the grass borders of the central area of Crescent Garden and weeding the surrounding pathways. At our Sunday session we had 7 volunteers and continued to edge the borders of the “top” pathway in Adelaide Garden.
Big thanks to everyone who came to help at yesterday’s volunteer session. We had a great team who worked most of the day – including some volunteers from the Animal and Plant Health Agency who (for the third year running) gave us one of their corporate volunteer days. We worked on the central areas in Crescent Garden, weeding and redefining the paths. Well done everyone.
Our litter picking and garden maintenance sessions during August will take place on :
Saturday 9th meeting at 10.30am in the Children’s Play Park
Tuesday 12th meeting at 10.00am in Adelaide Garden
Sunday 17th meeting at 2.00pm in Adelaide Garden and

All equipment and refreshments will be provided. Please come along and join us – every little helps and you don’t need to be a skilled gardener!
This year FoWSG have been invited to have a raised bed display at the Southport Flower Show (14th – 17th August) which we will be setting up with plants donated by our friends at Magills Nursery.
Our Autumn Festival in Marine Garden is taking place on Saturday 13th September. If you are able to help us in any way (setting up, taking down, raffle prizes, manning a stall etc) please let us know.
