Portland Road Community Garden

Our gardening continues……

We continue work in Portland Road Community Garden. This weekend we planted Periwinkle and Wallflowers in the raised beds outside Woodside Health Centre. We’ve also planted Daffodil bulbs so we hope to have a colourful display next Spring and Summer.

During previous weekends we have extended the planting at the rear of the Leisure Centre with additional Hawthorn and ferns. Our idea is to attract wildlife. We have found, what we think, are Chafer Beetle grubs in our compost bins and there seem to be many more birds around than previously.

We have a very small team of dedicated volunteers. If you’d like to join us, we garden at 10AM -12 noon on the first and third Saturdays of every month.
