Make a Difference Day

Armed with tools and food, several volunteers joined forces for CSV Make a Difference Day in Cuthill Park.

One group tackled the weeds in the area in the community garden where the community servers will be laying down a stone circle next week.

Another group planted daffodils (kindly donated by Lidl) and tulips (awarded to us from The Big Bulb Plant) around the entrance to the park.  The group also put up special Dogwatch posters, designed by schoolkids, on the gate.  Let's hope irresponsible dog walkers get the message - the park is in a dreadful state with dog mess at the moment.

A group of men moved a huge log from the wooded area down to the garden where it will be used as a handy seat.

The vegetable garden continues to flourish.  There are several squashes growing and we picked the last of the potatoes and courgettes.

One thing that would make a huge difference would be the erection of a fence by the garden area. The dog mess is a disgrace in the park and is the single biggest disincentive to recruiting new volunteers.

THANK YOU to our volunteers: Annemarie, Arran, Celia, Charlotte, Emily, Georgie, Harris, Jan B, Jan H, Jocelyn, Josie, Lucy, Mary, Max, Nigel, Rose, Stephen, Steve and Tom.  You really did MAKE A DIFFERENCE!!!!
