Friends of Wormholt Park

Gardening - Preparing ground for renewal of Wildflower Meadow, weeding
FOWP plant flowers and plants in our local park to encourage biodiversity and give pleasure to local residents. We organise planting/weeding sessions and also run bird walks, small events and other community activities to encourage an understanding of nature. GoodGym have helped us before (requested by Vanessa Hampton) but I cannot find the details on this site. FOWP created a very successful wild flower meadow in 2018 but this now needs extensive preparation for some Autumn planting then further planting next Spring.

12 GoodGymers have supported Friends of Wormholt Park with 4 tasks.

Wait: Which plants are we digging out?

Tuesday 30th May 2023

Written by Jonathan (he/him)

A lovely evening spent busy in one of the beds of Wormholt Park, tackling several weeds that had made their home amongst the desired flowers.

Divya was excellent with the shovelling, digging out the deeper rooted sycamore trees (sick-of-more of them am I right?) whilst the rest of us focussed on the shallowly rooted weeds.

Thanks to all for coming!

Rake and Shake

Tuesday 23rd May 2023

Written by Jonathan (he/him)

A simple task overall, helping to prepare a wildflower bed for the spreading of seeds which will (hopefully) end up offering a splash of colour to the local park.

We all put our best rake forward, scouring the ground to allow it to be a better home for the seeds to be laid to sprout in. Special dedication from Beth, who ended up getting a blister as a battle scar of her efforts!

Unfortunately, it being that time of year many of us drew the attention of the critters and crawlers who enjoy the undergrowth; leading to a few smarting red welts on our exposed legs!

Planting saplings wood you believe

Saturday 26th November 2022

Written by Jonathan (he/him)

We came, we weeded, we planted trees.

Always nice to come back to Wormholt Park after a long time away and help out in any way we can. Hopefully we'll be back more often next year!
