Public Planting Day in Marie Louise Gardens - Saturday 16th April 10.30am

To mark the start of the Easter break why not bring yourself, your family, your friends and take part in the second of this year's public planting sessions. There will be a great variety of interesting new plants that have been bought by Colin Evans, our park warden, and that need to be given a home in the gardens.
Colin will be on hand to advise and supervise.
