From our correspondent Mandy Stevens :
On Thursday 23rd April, Friends of the Shuttle held their first gardening event in the Old English Garden in Danson Park. Ten volunteers removed dead material and weeds from the formal flowerbeds and trimmed the borders. FoTS has stepped in to save the pollinator-friendly borders from being grassed over as part of Council cost-cutting measures.

FOTs welcomes all keen gardeners to join them at their next event in the Garden on Thursday 21st May. Tools and gloves provided. You don’t need to be an expert as guidance will be given on what (and what not) to do …. If you are interested, please contact FOTs at Friends.Of.The.Shuttle@gmail.com
