If you’ve passed by recently, you might have spotted the transformation taking place on the long bank in front of our cottage! 🌼
Over the years, our dedicated members and volunteers have worked hard to make this space a welcoming and beautiful feature. But tough, persistent weeds and poor soil conditions made it a real challenge. So, we decided it was time for a fresh start!
💪 Existing plants and bulbs were carefully dug out and lovingly repositioned, including our much-loved ornamental grasses. The area was then fully weeded, levelled, and covered with a specialist membrane to keep weeds at bay.
Thanks to Tess at Tony Almonds Garden Centre, who kindly gave us a discount, we planted a gorgeous selection of low-maintenance heathers and herbs — all nature-friendly, drought-tolerant, and beautifully scented 🌸🌿
To finish it off, we added bark mulch to help retain moisture and give it a clean, natural look. Steve and Paul donated and painted mini wooden picket fencing in sage green to frame the border – and it looks fantastic! 🪴✨
Once the scaffolding is down, we’ll continue planting and extending the fencing right up to the cottage.
A huge thank you to everyone who helped make this happen: members James, Jeff, Paul, and Adam, and volunteers Steve, Ken, John, Carol, Simon, and Paul – your hard work and teamwork are truly appreciated 💚
Watch this space as our garden continues to bloom!
