Ha-ha / saw-saw

Great to join the assembled Friends of this park giving it some love and attention after a lot of neglect… and saving it from possible threat of encroaching redevelopment. Today lots of new plants had been acquired (and some rescued from the adjacent old Civic Centre site) so years of overgrown ivy, brambles and invasive trees needed to be cleared to make some space.

Ratchet loppers and various types of saw saw plenty of action. Brilliant people and brilliant secret spot in Bromley. (Plus, an actual ha-ha!)

Palace to see you

Saturday 8th March

Two Goodgymers joined the Friends of Bromley Palace Park to help with weeding, chopping and generally eliminating some pesky laurel.

Millie got to work digging up roots, while Louise went on a lopping extravaganza. The glorious weather made it a treat to be here, with birds chirping, dogs and dog walkers chatting and the occasional Canada goose honking.

We'll be back next month, to continue helping the Friends get the park ready for the Summer.
