We have been very busy in the Nature Reserve . The pond has had the banks secured with logs and mud which is a much better area for planting in the future.

In August some trees which cut out light are being cut down and we can plant up the pond with all sorts of vegetation. Purple Loosestrife, . Meadow Sweet and Marsh Marigold around the banks. Yellow Flag Iris, Water Mint and Rushes.
The deep part will also have suitable aquatics. We may have to leave the planting till next spring but the important thing is we are moving forward if slowly!

The entrance has teen tidied and we hope this creates a good impression for the In Bloom Judges next week

The whole town looks so bright and gay and the only fly in the ointment is the closing of so many shops.
