Two bulb planting sessions in Mayow Park on 8th December and 16th December with regular park users joining in. On 8th December a mother and her two children helped to plant 140 fritillaria around the holly tree and sitting logs near the path on the southern side of the Triangle.

16th December was a dry and sunny winter's day with plenty of visitors in the park. Two volunteers planted more fritillaries and some snowdrops by the holly tree and sitting logs on the north-eastern side of the Triangle. A father with his two sons were passing by and they joined in to plant irises on the slope by the Bowls club, on the western side of the Triangle to the right of the manhole cover and behind the silver birch trees. We have more bulbs to plant as soon as possible.

Today, 17th February 2013, 50 narcissus bulbs were planted at the base of one section of hedgerow at the Triangle. The larger Triangle bed needs additional stepping logs to create further pathways so two more steps were added today. Another stepping log is being stored in a garden and will need to be brought with a wheelbarrow. More stepping logs will be very welcome.
