Someone seems to have recently smashed a lot of bottles or jars on the footpath near the garden, and our group Chair, Ken, spent some time sweeping them up. Many thanks to Ken! Please keep an eye out everyone in case there is more glass lurking or it happens again.

Please join us for a pre-Easter activity session- a bit of a tidy up before the spring/ summer growth really gets going.

Sunday 29th march 11-1

It would be great if you could bring gloves, secateurs or even a spade or something like a mattock, but if you would just like to come and say hello that would also be great. With the daffodils out and tulips coming it is a great time to enjoy being outdoors!

Do you know anyone who could provide us with some free landscaping / groundworks advice? The BCWG committee recently met for its AGM and discussed plans for the garden through 2026. One of the suggestions put forward that had a lot of interest was the idea of making the bottom path of the garden (the section that runs parallel with the public right of way) into a wheel chair accessible path. This would involve a feasibility review of the proposed route as well as an estimate of the materials and work that would most likely be required. We could then submit an application for charitable support and, if successful, hopefully begin to turn the idea into a reality. Please do get in touch if you or anyone you know with this kind of expertise can spare us an hour or two to assist with scoping out the practicalities of this project.
