24 March 2024
The main focus today was on pruning the Hydrangeas and cutting back brambles. Some of the Hydrandgeas were hard pruned to encourage bigger, but fewer, blooms. In other areas we went in lightly to encourage more flowers.
14 April 2024
A well attended session with 11 volunteers in attendance. Some of us met with Ian and Steve from Parks and Gardens at the start of the session. They are helping us to plan ongoing work in the Peace Garden. We also did a walk through to identify the best place to put the plants which had been donated to us by Sainsbury’s. Some then worked on pruning in the Peace Garden, others planting along the border near Woodend and the rest litter picking.
