The first hour today was all about weeding! Not our favourite task, but we had a great incentive to get on with it! Following this we were excited to finally be able to plant and wildflower seed the 'Friends of Victoria Park' bay which sits alongside the Greenhouse hub amongst several others. Each are being looked after by different groups with a mix of veggies, herbs, plants and flowers. Our bay will change season to season and the plan is to graft some of the plants elsewhere in the park, as well as have people bring from their own gardens to be sustainable. We'll each take responsibility to water, weed and generally maintain our bay to keep it looking fresh and attractive to insects and visitors to the Park. We celebrated it's 'opening' with a good water and for us volunteers some refreshments and biscuits!
