Help with hedge planting

The Biodiversity Group are planting a small hedge by the Effra Play Centre this Wednesday (28th November). They initially planted a small number of hedging bushes on the inside of the railings, last year, with the help of the Community Payback team. Now they need to infill the gaps where the bushes failed.

They will be planting additional hedging plants along the outside of the fence so that the Play Centre has a hedge ‘screen’ so the children can play in the newly renovated area in front of the Effra building.

They need help! It is a bit cold and muddy but if you can come along and do a couple of hours – they would be very grateful. No experience is necessary and they have the wonderful Richard Jedrzejczak guiding the group.

They start at 10.30am and you will find the group by the Effra Play Centre, or you will see the TCV van a short walk up by the Brockwell Gate entrance. Dress up warm and wear sensible shoes or boots.

Thank you to perimeter fence volunteers

You could spy toiling hedge-layers working on the perimeter fence in Brockwell Park recently. Thank you to everyone who helped dig, plant and trim our environmentally friendly fence, which will be a haven for local wildlife. Do admire their handiwork if you are walking up from the playground, just before the Cressingham Gardens Estate.

The Community Partnership asked for volunteers to help finish the perimeter fence.
