Replanting the cherry trees
The Cherry tree that was vandalised earlier in the spring, only one week after planting, has been replaced. Whilst we realise this is not a good time to plant a young tree, the timing of receiving the replacement went awry. The tree is now in place and the snapped tree has joined the other vandalised trees near the Chalet Café. We aim to keep them all watered over the summer months and if anyone would like to help with this, can they contact FoPP via our website.
Many thanks to Kez and his team for all their help in getting the trees out and in the ground. Great work!

Rotunda Pond
The Rotunda Pond is suffering with a bit too much algae due to intense sunny weather. Therefore CityParks will be treating it with a natural enzyme. This will make the water a bit cloudy but this is temporary and nothing to worry about.
