I spent a very enjoyable few hours up at Townhead today, every week new shoots are appearing and more spring bulbs are blooming. We currently have a very nice display of hellebores and primroses on the site, so it’s well worth talking a stroll by if you’re in the area.
We continue to get great feedback from the public for all our hard work on the site. Today I was awarded a banana by a passer by which provided a welcome snack and excuse to pause for a break.
All in all I managed to get a fair bit done and have added teasel, hardy geraniums, quaking grass, yellow loosestrife, primula, poached eggs and sweet rocket to the beds for what fingers crossed should be a colourful display come summer. Removing the debris of autumn and winter continues and there is still loads to do so any help, even just a quick half hour is welcome.
We next meet as a group on the 26th Feb and it would be great to see a few old and new faces come along.

We meet for the last dig of February at 11:30am on Saturday 26th Feb at the side entrance of St Mungos Primary, Townhead on the lane that connects Stirling Rd to Parson St. As well as admiring all the early bulbs which are just coming into bloom, we’ll be continuing work on the site in preparation for the arrival of spring. If you haven’t been up in a while it’s well worth a look as there are over thirteen thousand spring and summer bulbs of various kinds set to bloom over the coming months.
As ever bring yourself, a small fork or trowel, a pair of gardening gloves and any plants you’d like to add to what will hopefully be a colourful display. If you haven’t been along to the site before or you have any questions, please get in touch via email.
