As many of you already know, we have entered Preston Park’s Rose Garden into this year’s South & South East in Bloom competition. Work is continuing as we try to get the garden ready. Lucky for us, we have had a lot of eager volunteers turn up to help, including Pavilion Green candidate Sian Berry!
However, we still need all hands in deck to get it shipshape before the judges arrive on 27 June.
Therefore, other than the usual Tuesday volunteer gardening session, 10.00-13.00, we are putting on a few extra sessions that we are hoping anyone interested will turn up to. These will include Thursday and Friday, 10.00-12.00. (So, 6, 7, 11, 13, 14, 18, 20, 21, 25 June).
Please bring your own gloves and any tools that you have. We will try to provide those who don’t have any, with tools. Also bring snacks, water and sunscreen.
We will start each session in the Rose Garden with a discussion on what is the priority. Please don’t feel this is a set commitment. Just turn up and do an hour if that is all you can do! We appreciate it and so do the roses!
