Please can you help to give the Parkbourn Wildflower Garden its annual TLC with a quick tidy up involving some weeding, raking and trimming. The forecast suggests a cold sunny morning, but if it is still icy please don’t risk travelling.

Venue The Parkbourn Project is a little tricky to find. It is situated on the rear service road of (45) Parkbourn Square (L31 1JD off Park Lane), also listed on Google maps.

Time. Meeting for one hour on Wednesday 7.1.26, at 09:30 hours.

Tasks. 

• We will be focusing on simple but important weeding in the small outer border and path that has four layers including (1) the rear dogwood hedge is developing to cover the stark railings, (2) in front there is a row of 72 white hydrangea cuttings blossoming, and (3) in front of this there is a row of assorted plants, whilst the (4) daffodils and bluebells that fringe the path
• Trimming the newly planted dogwood hedge.
• Strimming, raking the middle triangle wildflower bed. It is important to remove vegetation as it creates rich soil nutrition, that hinders wildflowers as they prefer a poor quality soil medium.

Equipment: You will need garden gloves, sturdy boots, large or small garden fork and secateurs.
