Summer fun at Winsford Gardens

After 2 years away due to Covid restrictions we were back with our annual open day and it was a roaring success. We had never seen as busy and everyone stayed to enjoy the wonderful music performed by Musica Medioca, the refreshments that were supplied and baked by the volunteers and the plants grown at the park. It was wonderful to see so many people and to hear how much they loved the park. All the money raised will go back into keeping the park looking wonderful.

Fields in Trust - UK's favourite parks

Fields in Trust is running a competition to find the UK's favourite park. Winsford Gardens is going up against many large parks so if you love the park please vote for us at https://www.fieldsintrust.org/favourite-parks/nominations/winsford-gardens-open-space Fields in Trust champions and supports our parks and greens spaces by protecting them for people to enjoy in perpetuity. Because once lost, they are lost forever.

A visit from a local cub group

Cubs from the 1^st Penge Scout Group visited Winsford Gardens on 4^th July. The Cubs are working towards their Naturalist Badge, and Penge Green Gym volunteers were on-hand to give the Cubs a tour of the gardens, pointing out a variety of trees and wildflowers. The Cubs will be visiting again during the coming months, and will be noting what changes they see in the trees and wildflowers.

What's looking great right now

Our roses, wildflower meadow and herb beds look fab right now. With the temperature rising all of the plants need all the help they can get so we give them as much water as we can each week. Come and enjoy some shade underneath the trees and smell the roses...
