Who this task will support

Friends of Boscombe Chine Gardens

Friends of Boscombe Chine Gardens was inaugurated and constitutionalised on the 3rd July 2002. Our primary objective is to enhance & conserve Boscombe Chine Gardens for the enjoyment of the community & visitors. Our intention is for Boscombe Chine Gardens to be a place where everyone from toddlers to grown-ups, can visit to enjoy the landscaped and natural gardens, associated wildlife and various amenities. Located within Boscombe Chine are wonderful three dimensional bedding displays alongside traditional bedding and innovative herbaceous planting schemes. A splendid 1890's lodge is situated at the northern end of the chine close to the terraced Clock Café and 18 hole Mini-golf course. We also have a Multi Use Games Area where basketball and football are played. Further down the gardens is an interpretation of the original circular spa shelter with a conical, oak shingled roof that acts as a stop off point for the Bournemouth land train. There is also an enclosed children's play area with an innovative water play feature. Boscombe Chine Gardens is proud to be Bournemouth's 10th Local Nature Reserve. Holder of a prestigious green flag award since 2007.

Please note that this group run has been cancelled.

Friends of Boscombe Chine Gardens have asked for some help. After two sessions to help restore their log cabin we will return to help with any old jobs that they have for us. They may have some more painting tasks for us as the log cabin has a flaky metal fence. Or they have mentioned that they always need volunteers to help with the weeding of their beautiful gardens. Watch this space for more details.

Runners to meet at King's Park cricket pavilion for the short run to the session. Those wanting to make their own way to the task the runners will aim to get to the gardens by 6.45pm. Meeting point large brown wooden log cabin near the basket ball court.

Hi, Rana. I'm currently helping with an emergency near King's Park. I'm waiting for an ambulance. Not sure if I can make it to the task. I will keep you posted

On route to the task from the Group Run location. Caprice witnessed an elderly gentleman have a fall. Caprice called and ambulance and stayed with him until it arrived.
With only one volunteer signed up (a new member) Caprice had to cancel the session. The session will be rescheduled, date to be confirmed.
