Parklings today - very productive!

28/5/2019

0 Comments

 
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!

Visiting The Park this summer

20/5/2019

0 Comments

 
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 theparkkilnwick@gmail.com) so we can offer alternative parking options.
Thank you for your understanding. 🌳🚴‍♀️🌳
