You may have heard of the Hanging Gardens of Babylon but have you heard of the Hanging Teapots of Maghull!

Background. Over 20 teapots were hung on a fence to create funky bird boxes and bug houses, as part of a Friends of Maghull District’s (FOMD) first (2018) of many local green transformations. This small area had been blighted with 20 years of antisocial and fly tipping behaviour, was transformed into a much-visited inspiring green wildlife oasis.

Please can you help to give this Parkbourn Wildflower Garden its annual TLC with a quick tidy up involving some weeding and trimming?

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 Friday 23.5.25, at 09:30 hours.

Task. We will be focusing on simple but important weeding and trimming of the small outer border and path that has four layers including (1) the rear dogwood hedge 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 have now finished blossoming.

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

Lots more volunteer opportunities will be coming up soon, so please keep an eye on our events calendar.

Many Thanks,
