On Saturday 9th June, plotholders came together to start our work on revitalising the wildlife area.<\/p>\n
15 people volunteered, clearing years of growth, digging beds and planting shrubs, perennials and wildflowers.<\/p>\n
Chairman Daniel Barrington said “It was such a great day, people coming together and getting stuck in. You can already see a big difference and I’d like to thank everyone who came along. We’ll be doing this on a regular basis. The site has so much potential and we really want to see it as a haven for wildlife, which benefits us all.”<\/p>\n
The wildlife area was originally created in 2008, with fruit trees, wildflowers and a pond. Over the years it’s become neglected.<\/p>\n
Future plans include creating more beds, clearing the pond, planting more shrubs, perennials, wildflowers and creating a seating area.<\/p>\n
Our next day of work will take place on\u00a0Saturday 23rd June from 11am,<\/b>\u00a0bring a spade and a wheelbarrow! We’ll have refreshments and snacks.<\/p>\n
