SUMMARY:Enjoy a Wild Time in Maghull.
DESCRIPTION:Please can you help to give the Parkbourn Wildflower Garden one hour of your time? The Parkbourn Project is receiving a small refresh and needs your help to sow new wildflower seeds\, plant wildflower plugs and undertake some small weeding in the borders. \nThis small site was our first adventure in 2018 in which we transformed from a profoundly neglected\, ASB blighted dump into a valued community oasis and need your help to take it to the next level. We have received some expert national advice to enhance our wildflower centrepiece\, which resulted in receiving the perfect growing medium for wildflowers in the form of an incredible eight tons of grit sand donated by Dowhigh construction (28.1.26). We have now received donations and purchases from national wildflower experts to sow this week with a little help from you. \nVenue The Parkbourn Project is a little tricky to find.
