Adding colour to the park


We did a spot of gardening in the park this week. All going well, by late Spring next year we will have a brilliant splash of colour just inside the park railings at the town end. The flowers and herbs we have chosen - largely perennial - should ensure that there are beautiful colours and scents here from Spring right though to late Autumn. There is Helenium, Lupinus ('gallery Rose Shades', Chamomile, Salvia nemorosa Ostfriesland, Digitalis purpurea Dalmation F1 Purple, Anemone x hybrida (Japanese Anemone). We are assured that these will attract loads of bees and butterflies. Thanks to our green-fingered colleague Marie of Wexford Tidy Towns for all her expertise and hard work. Thanks also to the Council for their ongoing support.
I think we are now ready to pledge our support to the "Let's Bee Friendly" campaign at http://www.wexfordtidytowns.com/biodiversity/bees.
