Help needed! - 4th Big Dig, Wednesday, 29th January, 11 am to 1 pm. Come along and help us clear away the undergrowth and ivy from the ‘V’ shaped end of the Park to prepare for planting. More hands make light work! #community#parks@GreenSefton_
And we'll be collecting surplus food at Bootle Library next Thursday. Bring your gluts of fruit and veg along and together with @seanroyparker we'll turn them into a delicious vegetarian community lunch on Friday
Local resident, Peter McGoldrick, discovered this map of the surrounding area of Merrilocks Park dating back to 1893. Fascinating to see the original houses bordering the park plus the many trees planted to enhance the area.@ABetterCrosby@CrosbyHistory@CrosbyBubble
The new noticeboard has been installed and will provide information and up to date news about the Park and it’s transformation! With thanks @GreenSefton_
Thanks to a great deal of hard work the park is starting to look beautiful! A new bench donated by the McGoldrick Family, the planter in full bloom and paths and borders tidied! @GreenSefton_#teamwork

Should any of you eagle eyed people notice that the plaque is missing from Anne Thompson's bench - just to reassure you that it hasn't been stolen, it has been taken away for a slight alteration to the engraving. :)
Our next regular volunteer gardening session will be Tuesday 12th June. We will meet near Waterloo Place cafe at 9:30am.
We will have gardening sessions throughout the summer on the second... https://t.co/mepnb4grLi
