🌼🌿 Wildflower Turf – a little more colour, a lot more wildlife and a new contribution to Llandeilo In Bloom in Penlan Park! 🌿🌼
We had a lovely morning in the sunshine in Penlan Park, installing 20m² of wildflower turf — another small step to enhance our wonderful park. 🐝🦋🌸
Thanks to the Community Payback team who did the preparation work for us last week, we were able to get stuck in straight away. A big thank you to Alex from Keep Wales Tidy - Cadwch Gymru'n Daclus for arranging this grant and then coming along to work hard helping us get the turf in place! 💚 A special welcome and thank you to Cath and Gloria, our newest volunteers, who joined us through the valuable connections we have made through our community drop-in sessions. It has been a great example of everyone coming together. 🌱👏🌿
But there is more than that - thanks are also due to our Cllrs, Geraint and Matthew, for recently building and positioning the new picnic benches, on top of all the park mowing they do — another welcome addition to the park. 🪑🌳
And as the final part of the £2K Keep Wales Tidy grant, we have 1,600 native bulbs, including bluebells, snowdrops and anemones. 🌱🌸 We will be making a start on planting these at our volunteer session this Sunday, so if you fancy coming along and getting involved, we would love to see you!
And finally a thank you to everyone who stops to say “hello” when they see us in the parks, commenting on our efforts and offering encouragement — especially today as the wheelbarrowing got progressively harder and the turf seemed to get heavier and heavier! 😂💪🌿
