David, Iris and myself worked with pupils from 10R Astley Park School, who have been growing willow and harvesting it to plant in the wet areas of Ackhurst Lodge. The pupils worked fantastically well in teams and despite the wet weather enjoyed the activities. When the willow was planted they did some balsam bashing, weeding and removed the pansies ready for the replanting of the wishing well area.
Well done everyone, we look forward to working with you again in the near future. Thank you
The willow planted recently at Ackhurst Lodge looks dead until you look closer and you can see the buds appearing on the stems.
