A work party of 7 volunteers and support from Deb our local CSO meant that there were eight hi-viz vests visible in the park today. The day has been a very productive one, they always are really (which is one reason they qualify as green therapy in our view) ...but today was especially productive for both planting and completing the weeding of the chutney hedge and also the perimeter railings at the Coventry Street junction with the ring road. At the same time as the gardening was taking place, new discoveries have been made that have increased the plastic menagerie we've found in the park so far. A new plastic green grasshopper is now joined by an equally plastic grey elephant and a multicoloured psychedelic fish - when these are added together with the giraffe called George - we have all the makings of becoming St George's Plastic Safari Park. We must point out however that the roadside brown tourist signs with an elephant on them you see on approaches to Kidderminster, refer to the West Midlands Safari Park and not St George's Park - the People's Park since 1927 - and a plastic menagerie since a week last Saturday. How many more toy animals are there awaiting discovery? Keep up with the latest news from FoSGP here.....
