Weeds, weeds, weeds………Sunday 11 Sept 2016 , 11 am to 1pm

This will be our last weeding bee of the year – some members will be relieved while others could carry on without pause!  Whatever your relationship to weeds, every hand helps, and results not only in allowing emerging native plants to show themselves, but also makes our lovely Park look fantastic.
