Thank you to Joanne, Linda, Jill (pictured) Colin and Frank (not pictured). Not only for the fantastic outcomes in one hour but for their good-humoured company for our first one-hour session to give an annual tidy up at our old and very first modest green transformation project (2018) at Maghull’s Parkbourn today. The Parkbourn Project is the site of Maghull’s famous Hanging Teapots (often confused with the Hanging Gardens of Babylon – pictured!).

In the short one-hour, we filled a large agricultural bag from:

  • Trimming our previously planted dogwood hedge.
  • Weeded the outer border to improve the past donated shrubs.
  • Weeded the woodchip access path.

Maghull North Train Station Volunteers

Thank you to Christine (and Bill) who kindly popped along on her bike to offer a fantastic donation of ferns, hydrangea and a beech tree, and promised to hold onto them until the new planting season in October for Rowlands Dell. Christine and her team of Maghull North train station volunteers are doing a fantastic job with small resources, evidenced by their beautiful and uplifting flowers on the School lane embankment (pictured).

Please Donate to our Beautiful Rowlands Dell Green Restoration Appeal.

Huge thanks for any help you can provide.

Background to Rowlands Dell.

This beautiful haven for wildlife has unbelievably been treated as an open tip for decades, where every inch has revealed a variety of pollutants harmful to wildlife. In our three-stage plan, stage I has resulted in Maghull’s biggest ever 46-week cleanup in which FOMD have removed 266 bin bags of litter and 25 tons of debris. In the two months of Stage II, that was completed in November, with our NHS landowner partners (expertly installed by subcontractors – PR England Landscapers) using a health and wellness grant fund (representing Maghull’s largest green investment) have installed an amazing legacy array of hard landscaping installations to provide accessibility for the whole community (accessible path, viewing/picnic area, sunken garden, bins, 10,000 bulbs and planting at small junction points, bug and bird boxes, and a dry waterfall feature). We are now engaging in stage three to repopulate Rowlands Dell with woodland planting and need your help.

With huge thanks.
