Great to wonder around @MaryhillPark with a fantastic group of young people for our nurture walk.

🌿 Huge thanks to the volunteers at Maryhill Men’s Shed for helping create bird, bat and swift boxes across Maryhill and Ruchill Park 🐦🦇

Working with our Countryside Rangers and supported by @ActionEarthScot, this project is making a real difference for local wildlife.

The Spence Street hedge is finally done! All cut down to fence level all the way along, it was a big job but now should be much easier to maintain at this height.

Pumpkin advice from our Countryside Rangers🎃

Please don't leave old pumpkins out for wildlife as it can make them sick🤮

Don't dump your old pumpkins in our parks or woodlands. Instead donate them to local farms/community gardens or bury it in your garden for worms to enjoy.

Trimming the Spence Street hedge - it’s very overgrown, so we’re trying to take it back down to fence height.

A beautiful day in the park for tidying up the fallen oak and hawthorn, building a new wildlife pile - and with a visit from a Red Admiral butterfly!

Martyr's Memorial Pillar in the grounds of the old Maryhill Parish Church. This cast-iron pillar, now painted a cream colour, was erected in 1835 in memory of a 19 year old George Millar.

This week, the Volunteers rebuilt the big raised bed in the Community Garden, ready for spring!

We’ve cleared a way past the big fallen tree on the bowling green…

Could we please remind people NOT to leave pumpkins in the park - they’re not good for wildlife and just make a mess.

[Maryhill Park @MaryhillPark]

Clearing up lots of leaves…

It’s the beginning of September, time to start on hedge trimming!

[Maryhill Park @MaryhillPark]

We’ve been doing more tidying of the community garden, putting the sign back up, putting out and filling some planters, and also installed a bike rack next to the tennis courts.

[Maryhill Park @MaryhillPark]

We’ve added some more fence to the community garden - we plan to grow climbing plants up this from the raised bed.

[Maryhill Park @MaryhillPark]

We’ve started on some renovations to the Community Garden, so you might notice some new fences going up - the Garden won’t be fenced off completely, there will still be pedestrian and wheelchair access, but it will separate the Garden and hopefully encourage responsible use 🙂

[Maryhill Park @MaryhillPark]

This week, we made a start on tidying the community garden, cut the long grass at the Maryhill Road entrance, and swept the paths.

[Maryhill Park @MaryhillPark]

@JudyMurray Our new tennis courts are being used by local schools, which is wonderful to see 🙂

Mowing paths through the wildflower meadow…
