Wild (flower) Thing!

Thirlmere Park in Liverpool, a stone's throw from the Anfield stadium, was the setting for today's Community Mission. The park is one of the smaller ones in the city and apart from a children's playground and a basketball court, is currently almost all given over to a wildflower meadow - poppies, cornflowers, ox-eye daisies and many others. These were in full bloom today and it was good to litter pick and sweep up so that they could be seen in all their multicoloured glory. We were joined by Creative Spaces Co and Jimmy from Alley Angels today - it was great to see you! As it's a small park, we were able to clean up all of it, filling 11 bin bags between us in little over an hour. Mystery objects found included a bike saddle, a child's coat, and the winner of the Most Interesting Object Found on a Litter Pick - a child's pushchair!
