Saturday was warm and sunny - ideal weather for our tidy-up. As well as removing a lot of deadwood, we swept the entrances, did some strimming, weeding and planting, and revarnished the last of the benches. Unfortunately, our trusty lawnmower finally gave up the ghost, so we weren't able to cut the grass in the sundial area - hopefully, we'll have a new one in a week or two. All in all, however, a very productive and enjoyable morning.

Our Next Tidy Up

Our maintenance team will be meeting again this coming Saturday, 14th May, to give Marie Louise some more TLC. Summer is fast approaching, so, as well as carrying out the usual tasks, we'll be freshening up the mulch around young shrubs and saplings, to prepare them for all those hotter, drier days ahead. The weather forecast for Saturday is very promising, so we can look forward to an enjoyable morning. If you're free for an hour or two, do join us outside the shelter at 11am - we'd love to have you along!

Memorials and Memorial Benches

The Friends of Marie Louise Gardens would like to politely remind park users that Marie Louise Gardens are not ‘memorial gardens’.
Although you may see trees planted as memorials and benches with memorial plaques comemorating loved ones,
the Friends have decided to discontinue the planting of memorial trees and the dedication of benches because there is no more space in the gardens!!
Please read the Friends’ official memorial policy >>HERE<<

The Friends would respectfully request that park users refrain from erecting their own ad hoc memorials on trees or anywhere else in the gardens as these will be removed.
