Last Saturday's Parklings Christmas Coffee Morning was a huge success - thanks to everyone who supported the event. A great fundraiser for Village Hall funds.
The Christmas post is in full flow now.. Parklings delivering around Kilnwick area until the 23rd December. Unfortunately this weekends Parklings trip to TopHill Low Nature Reserve is cancelled (the Reserve is flooded). The Parklings gathered today and planted 1000 Daffodils around Kilnwick - some at The Park, some at the Village Hall and some on Tibby Lane corner. They will look fabulous next spring.
Here is our young Trustee (and youth representative) in action! For anyone wishing to make a donation to our charity, we have a new online donations page here: https://wonderful.org/charity/theparkkilnwick

Next 2 events for Kilnwick Parklings...
Saturday 24th August 2pm onwards - we are going to be active and creative at the beach - its a beach outing 🦀 Saturday 31st August 2pm onwards - Sports Day at The Park (with some insect collecting fun afterwards)... 🌳 If you would like more details, please email as us at [email protected] We had 19 young people (plus adults) attend our Parklings session today. We had a very productive session planting a new Village Hall planter with an evergreen shrub and annual plants. It looks very smart. We also cleared the old rotten planters away and made the ground level and re-seeded with grass seed.
After that, each Parkling created their own "Garden in a Tray" with decorations. We can't wait to see how they evolve as the grass and cress seeds grow! There were some fantastic RHS "Chelsea" inspired ideas. After a cup of hot chocolate, we went and ran off some steam at The Park, before the heavens opened and we all dispersed to dry off! If travelling to The Park please come on bicycles if possible and if driving, please try and car share.
We've planted 2,000 trees at The Park and we are trying to enhance biodiversity. In addition to this, we are trying to minimize the impact of car parking to the residents of Kilnwick (particularly those residing on Main Street near the public footpath access to The Park). If you are organising a party or a group meet up at The Park please can you contact us (either via Facebook or via our email at [email protected]) so we can offer alternative parking options. Thank you for your understanding. 🌳🚴♀️🌳 |
