Lots of weeding, chopping and edging. 🌱
A great morning spent clearing the remaining bottom two beds. Work was slowed down by the discovery of a wasps’ nest, and a few stings, bravely born by Dave. 🐝🐝🐝
The council is proposing to extend the Steyne Conservation Area to include Denton Gardens and Beach House Park. This proposal acknowledges Denton Gardens’ local history and its historic context as well as its importance to the town. The link provides details - but you have to search.

On Saturday Louise and Michal (with me trailing along) walked round Denton to take a note of what was actually growing where. ![]()

The herbaceous border was surprisingly repetitive in its range of plants, and much of it is overgrown and ragged, but there are pockets of loveliness. It can all be nurtured back into healthy bloom with new planting in time. ![]()

But for now, as we have the funds (thanks Rampion) to buy new plants for the tree lined western edge, we need to focus our attention on clearing and pruning there, especially as we have a time limit to spend the money. We are having an event for folk to look at our ideas on our Saturday morning session on 30th Sept. ![]()

We also have to concentrate our efforts on replanting the sunken garden beds now we have CIL money to buy new plants. The remaining beds will be cleared by the council team soon and then it’ll be a big planting session before the winter sets in. ![]()

Many thanks to Louise and Michal for their conserable skills at applications for funds; to Michal for generating a comprehensive and eco friendly plan for the western edge; to Jade for devising the planting schemes for the pergola and sunken garden area; to Anthony for his continuous support and encouragement; to the park team for their invaluable advice and input and, last but not least, to all the volunteers who turn up every week to make it all happen.
Really excited to report that we have been awarded CIL Funding to allow us to plant up the top 4 flower beds in the Sunken Garden! We will be able to extend the beautiful, drought tolerant scheme designed for us by Jade Goto and already implemented around the pergola area. Thanks to everyone who has supported us along the way. Let the digging commence - new diggers always welcome: every Wed 10am-12noon and the last Sat of each month, also 10am-12noon - drop in anytime between these hours.
REMINDER - PLANT SALE - BANK HOLIDAY MONDAY ![]()
