Wendell Park Gardening Friends is looking to install low metal railings to protect the replanted herbaceous borders and flower beds alongside Wendell Road.
Wendell Park Gardening Friends was established with the help of Spacehive three years ago. Since then it's volunteers transformed the herbaceous border alongside Wendell Road, removing snowberry bushes which had become overgrown and In their place the planting hundreds of shrubs and flowering plants and over 1,000 spring bulbs. This year the park has seen a large increase in users, in part as a consequence of the lockdown which also saw playgrounds being closed to children. Sadly, many of the new plants, shrubs and flowers planted by the Gardening Friends have been damaged or destroyed as a result of children and dogs being able to run freely through the flower beds . We are now looking to install low metal railings to protect to the borders, allowing new plants to establish so that we can continue too make the park more beautiful. These railings will also prevent dogs and footballs from damaging the habitats that have been created for insects and invertebrates.

We at Wendell Park Gardening Friends are thrilled to have hit our funding target with the generous support of all of you; but there is so much more that we can do with additional funding. We would be able to extend the railings to enclose the entire border, providing greater protection from footballs, dogs, and unwitting tramplers; we would be able to fund a better way to irrigate the borders; we would be able to increase our. budget for exciting and innovative planting. So don't sop now! Keep up the good work! And let's make Wendell Park truly special!
Brilliant news, thanks everyone!
