12 months on from the pollarding of our veteran Crack Willows and pleasing to see lots of new growth and the green space beneath the trees recovering well. @Aliceundo @victoria1w2 @bathamptonpc @batheastonpc @WaterSpaceBath @avonfrome @MoreTreesBANES

Just installed an information board ... produced by the renewable energy people at @BWCE ... all about the hydro electric water wheel on the Old Mill at @batheastonpc. Used recycled timber and #volunteer hours. @WaterSpaceBath @Bathscape @Aliceundo @bathamptonpc

Somewhere in here are the Willow saplings we planted on the 100th anniversary of Armistice Day (2018). We also scattered some poppy seeds and they are just starting to flower on the 75th anniversary of D Day. @Aliceundo @victoria1w2 @BathAsmith @VoteSarahKevin @BathnesParks

[Riverside Volunteers @fofbmr]

All this in the #volunteer bin now sorted for recycling. @thatchers_cider ? Really need a @Deposit_return scheme.
On the plus side, the Riverside was spotlessly clean. @VoteSarahKevin @bathamptonpc @batheastonpc @KeepBritainTidy @CPRE

We've been exploring different capacities and have enjoyed measuring our water in our garden 💦 #cherryclass

Furniture arrived today ! Big thanks to Batheaston Garden Group who are working through a fantastic rejuvenation project in the historic Batheaston Gardens. @Aliceundo @victoria1w2 @batheastonpc @BathAsmith @VoteSarahKevin

[Batheaston Primary @BatheastonPri]

What a busy Tuesday afternoon readying the garden for planting! We have a great gardening team in Cherry Class 😊

[C. Nield de Crespo @c_nield]

#swifts are back in Batheaston. Yay .😀❤ Small bundles of joy and awe. The first one I've seen this year just navigated past my head at high speed and straight into neighbour's wall - their annual nest. Respect.🧡

[Riverside Volunteers @fofbmr]

@Aliceundo @avonwt We need a botanist ! Also noticed a large healthy patch of Figwort just infront the riverside wall of Batheaston Gardens. We had a lot of Mullein Moth caterpillars feeding on these previously. Hope the footpath strimming spares these plants. @batheastonpc

[Alison Harper @Aliceundo]

Yes figwort should be out of bounds for the strimmer!
