Sensory Garden - update

Work continues on the Sensory Garden at Walney School. Find out what's happening at the moment...

Monday 2 June 2003

The garden this week

Work on the hard landscaping in the garden is progressing rapidly at the moment thanks to bricklayer John.

Paul and Mike are assisting him and Gail is learning the craft too.

Paul and Gail took a break from the garden on Walney this weekend to work at Holker Garden Festival for BBC Radio Cumbria.

Paul followed Kim Wilde as she built a garden from scratch - hmm, sounds familiar..! More to come on the BBC Cumbria website about that soon.

Mystery solved

Last week, an anchor materialised next to the boat. This week, a lobster pot joined it.

The mystery sea-apparatus donor has revealed himself to be John Murphy. He found the anchor when out walking and the lobster pot is one of his.

How to help

With only five weeks to go, we still need plenty of help.

Just come and help for an hour if you can. Call Gail on 01228 474291 (or 07801 679757).
