From corner to community garden
The Triangle started as a tired patch near the entrance. Volunteers cleared the area, prepared beds, and created a simple layout with paths and seating so everyone can enjoy the space. It now sits alongside the wildlife pond, giving the park a calm, colourful focus all year round.
What we’ve done
Seasonal planting of pollinator-friendly perennials, bulbs and herbs
Defined paths & edging for easy access and tidier borders
New seating for a breather and a better view of the pond
Mulch & soil improvement to help plants establish and cut down weeding
Regular care on Wednesdays — watering, pruning and litter-picks
Why it matters
Nature & biodiversity: nectar through the seasons for bees and butterflies
Wellbeing: a peaceful place to meet, sit, and watch the water
Pride in place: cared-for corners lift the whole park and encourage respect
Learning: a simple spot for school visits and mini gardening demos
What’s next
Add more native plants for texture and colour across the seasons
Install a small interpretation panel about the garden and pond life
Trial mini planting sessions for families at events
