Thank you to our volunteers who joined us on Saturday for a few hours in the sun. Donal from Sunbeam House donated nearly 100 Calendula, Antirrhinum, Cornflowers, Wallflowers and Cosmos. 🌱🎋These were all planted and watered in. We then managed to lay 4 tonnes of bark mulch across the beds. This will help retain the water and improve the quality of the soil. I'm sure you will agree, it is looking good.

Tomorrow, we will be back at the Riverwalk at 10.30am. Quite a few of our regular volunteers will be away this weekend so we could really do with as much help as possible. There will be heavy work including digging/ shoveling/ lifting. We will be getting a lot of bark mulch delivered to the Riverwalk and the plan is to get as much of this put into the beds as possible. While we have a new watering system, the bark mulch will really help to retain moisture. Hope to see you there!

Last night our volunteers split into multiple groups to tackle specific areas around the town. The area around the dart station and Albert Walk was litter picked, the War Memorial was given some TLC and the area around the leaf litter cage on Galtrim Road was cleaned up. The planters at the station were watered also.

This week’s wildflower is the Field Poppy which is scientifically known as Papaver rhoeas.

Spotted growing along the Riverwalk this beautiful scarlet flower has 4 overlapping paper thin petals with a black blotch near the base.

Field Poppies are a familiar and welcome sight on our roadsides from late May to the end of the summer. They grow in grass verges, meadows and on disturbed ground. They can withstand drought and poor soil.

Unfortunately herbicide spraying has caused a decline in poppies so it’s great to see them growing wild. There are several garden varieties in orange and yellow shades which are also loved by pollinators.

Poppies are also cultivated for use in food and medicine production.

We had a great morning on the Riverwalk yesterday and the rain stayed away while we were out and about. Tidying the beds, planting and watering. Most importantly we took time out to have a cuppa and cake to celebrate Cora’s birthday! Happy birthday Cora 🩷

Well done to Archie the dog who spotted a low hanging branch, laden with ivy when out for a walk with his humans. Ok for dogs but much too low for humans!Thankfully Archie’s humans Irene and Fergus are volunteers with BTT so they set to work under his supervision! Archie has since approved the work done to clear the pathway. Well done Archie. And thanks to Fergus and Irene too!!

A few photos from last nights call out. A lot of mulching done on the large bed near O’Driscolls and 2 hours watering the 17 black planters outside Butler and Barry/ Finnbees. Thanks to Butler and Barry for letting us use their tap as the hydrant opposite has been blocked off by the hoarding. Thanks to everyone who came along to help out - we’re very grateful for all your efforts!
