Help us tackle weeds and community isolation

The Friends of Cuthill Park are holding a work day in the park for CSV Make a Difference Day on Saturday 29 October.

From 11 until 2, dependent on weather, volunteers will be weeding around the apple trees and planting bulbs.  If there are enough volunteers, it is hoped that weed suppressant fabric and landscaping materials can also be put down in the community garden area.  Volunteers are asked to bring along garden forks if they have them and refreshments.

We’ve had a really successful year in the Community Garden with bumper crops of potatoes and peas.  The apple trees we planted last year bore fruit.  What is particularly special about the project is the friendships that have formed as a result of it.  Lots of families have come along, some for half an hour, some for half a day – just enjoying the outdoors in the company other people”

The Friends of Cuthill Park welcome new members and are currently looking for a Secretary.  Meetings are friendly and informal.  Volunteers are always welcome, regardless of experience or ability.
