We're sorry that the banks of the gardens are looking over grown. We are re wilding! 🐝

Goodness me time has really flown by since our production of All Hands! finished! We've been beavering away behind the scenes to take down the stage and return all of our props and costumes to their homes.

If you've been down to Marine Cove recently you'll also have noticed that we've restored the flowerbeds and given them a bit of a breather. A big thank you to Magpie fencing and landscaping for doing a great job of removing the turf so neatly and putting in the new flowers for us. We're looking forward to seeing them grow and spread out over the coming months.

A Polite reminder.
Please do not release goldfish into the ponds. We do not have the facilities to give them the proper care that they need.
Thank you

We are taking part in No Mow May!
"No Mow May is Plantlife’s annual campaign calling all garden owners and green space managers not to mow during May – liberating your lawns and providing a space for nature. We’ve lost nearly 97% of flower rich meadows since the 1970’s and with them gone are vital food needed by pollinators, like bees and butterflies."

Supervised children aged from three years upwards are welcome to drop in to take part. It is completely free. There will also be a balloon modeller creating fantastic balloon animals.
