Making way for summer geraniums

By Rob Westlake, 8th July 2015: 
A priority this month for the party of 7 volunteers was keeping on top of weed and grass growth. Once again the dry lock was litter picked, swept and weeded, along with the garden at the front of the museum. A strimmer was put to good use on the Lock Island, along the Woodland Walk and down to Lock 15. Hedge trimming included the Spice of Bruerne car park hedge and a major task trimming back the planting around the Museum car park and giving that whole area a thorough sweep. The ash box by Lock 15 was also tidied and cleared of bulbs to make way for summer geraniums.
