The Big Dig ....a big success.

Its Saturday 7 June...famous as the day of 'The Big Dig'.



Developing the 'Smallest Park in Britain' got off to a good start with South Terrace Residents joined by Darlington's Guerilla Gardeners.



 


Removing perennial weeds and couch grass was quite a task.

 

  

We recovered broken flags and parts of the original railings, together with coins and other trophies.

 



Now, the site is clear and ready for laying out and planting. That is the exciting phase.

Join us on Saturday 21 June for 'The Big Plant'

  1. We need:
    Semi-permeable membrane to form the paths, and to top with wood chippings.

    A recycled rail sleeper to form the bench.

    Two 'Wish Bushes' - do you know a garden centre who may donate in return for publicity?

    Your plants - lots of them, colour plus ground cover - for an exposed north facing site.

    Your support and imagination. Everyone of whatever age is welcome!
