One Goodgymer joined Friends of Parkwood springs on a glorious summer's day to prune apple trees and weed the permaculture garden. The recent rains and sunshine had really got everything growing at a fast pace! It wasn't all work though as we could sample the sea buckthorn berries, the hemerocallis flowers, the blackberries and raspberries! We will be back in September to see how the mushroom bed that had been inoculated earlier this year will be getting on!

Friends of Parkwood Springs
Our country park in the city

Parkwood Springs is an amazing natural 'wild' space close to the centre of the city of Sheffield. There is woodland and heath, open parkland, and a range of natural habitats where wild lupins bloom, kestrels hover, and deer have been seen again. There are spectacular views over the city centre, the suburbs and the distant moors of the Peak District.
