Syringa (Lilac) looking (and smelling) good at the perimeter of the park behind the old wooden bench and Cytisus sp. (Broom), coming to the end of it's flowering period, in the top bed- a good plant for dry conditions!

Looking good in the long border this morning. Tulip 'Queen of the Night' growing through Lychnis coronaria.

First the yellows, then whites, purples and stripes..... crocuses, naturalised in the turf (the bulbs provided by Greenwich Council's Parks Department) put on a lovely display early on in the season.

February 2007

The park was 'put to bed' in November. The fallen leaves were collected and stored in the corner of the park adjacent to Burgos Grove, to rot down and be used as a soil conditioner later in the season.

The mild winter was interrupted by snow in February.

The triangular bed at the main entrance to the park was planted up with wallflowers and Phormiums.

An article about the group was published in Greenwich Time Newspaper.

The triangular raised bed was weeded and topsoil added.

New benches were installed by Greenwich Council, and the railings were painted black.

Shrubs donated by Coblands Nursurie were planted.

With the help of a grant from Greenwich Pride Award Schemes, a team of local volunteers, the goodwill of Greenwich Council employees, donations from Coblands Nurseries, Wickes, Homebase and The North Pole, work got underway....
