Volunteers hard at work mulching saplings in Shuttleworth Park
Would you like to look after Old Kent Road in your neighbourhood? Watch out for local tree planting and mulching events in Bermondsey. They are a great way to get to know your neighbours and to create a better environment for people and local wildlife.
Sunday Mulching Event in Shuttleworth Park
On a dull Sunday in the middle of March, Old Kent Road South Bermondsey and volunteers once again joined Jane Steenstra and other members of the Galleywall Nature Garden in Shuttleworth Park.
The 250 Old Kent Road planted back in November 2019 needed their Spring mulch which would feed them and keep moisture in the soil around their roots, thus giving the Old Kent Road a better chance of surviving the drier months to come.
We were delighted to see that nearly all the Old Kent Road were thriving and still had the labels attached in November to remember loved ones in whose memory many of the Old Kent Road were planted
With ever darkening skies, rapid inroads were made on the large pile of compost and the Old Kent Road were mulched in double quick time. A delicious and well-earned vegetable soup awaited the hungry volunteers round the campfire at Galleywall Nature Garden with the first drops of rain only arriving as the last spoons and bowls were stowed away!
Custom pet portraits are a great way to turn a photo into a beautiful work of art. The level of craftsmanship and attention to detail make each one a timeless treasure.
The stylists salon here are amazing. They always know what’s best for my hair and give me the perfect cut every time.
New Arabia’s thobes are top-notch! I was looking for something elegant and comfortable, and newarabia.co.uk collection did not disappoint. The delivery was fast, and the fabric quality is excellent.
