This week we meet on the sea front to mingle amongst those having a nice day by the sea, and a camera crew filming some sort of ice cream eating challenge! Despite Rebecca and Angela attempts to join in the ice cream challenge, we headed to Palmeria Square to meet resident Stuart who had a specific job for us to do.

Due to antisocial behaviour in the common areas there has been a lot of broken glass which has bothered residents, their families and furry friends a like. Armed with brooms, litter pickers, spades and dustpan and brushes we combed the top part of the park to clear as much glass and litter as possible, making it a safer space.

Many residents came to say hello, with Mark being quite the local celebrity!

We stayed in the park to compete our fitness session, where we concentrated on our balance to improve our form and reaction to uneven ground. Check out our wonky poses!

Fitness done we all ran back home bathed in golden hour sunlight!

Palmeira & Adelaide Garden Fund
To strengthen our community through the gardens, with each volunteer and every event. One blue bag at a time

Palmeria and Adelaide Garden Fund is a Community Intrest Company created in 2019 and established in 2020 as Palmeira and Adelaide Garden Group CIC. We started off as two concerned garden-loving local residents, and in just two years, our board is now nine-strong. We are a small group of dedicated residents who live in and around Palmeira Square and Adelaide Crescent with significant volunteer support. We started to raise funds to help with the maintenance of our green spaces and bring the community together through regular cleanups, gardening and events.
