The Friends group are meeting in the park by the shelter at 10am this Saturday for a work party. The purpose the the work party is to weed and tidy the park and idendify planting sites for more edibles. This is ahead of help promised by Wyre Forest District Council to establish the first raised bed in the park this month. We are looking forward to planting more fruit bushes soon and are looking for more voluinteers to help us prepare the park for the planting. Much has been going on behind the scenes since LEAP began in June. The LEAP team have met with representatives of community, local authoirity and charity organisations to raise further awareness of and interest in Let's Eat the Park. We have made some very good contacts in an ever widening network of commissioners, providers, volunteers and activists to gather a head of steam around the project. FoSGP views the partnership arrangements with WFDC parks department to establish these raised beds for LEAP as the focal point of the whole project and we will be asking our partners to help us get this underway in the very near future.
Anyone interested in helping us to develop the LEAP community growing project would be very welcome at our meeting at the Co-op Children's Centre on Friday 5 September at 7pm (please see Latest News page for details).
