Friends of Pickering Lodge Park

Thanks everyone who came to help today!☀️ Especially the lady on Grove Lane who brought us orange drinks! 🍊 We cleared the area around the Grove Lane entrance. Litter picking around the woodland and picnic areas. Plus a little weeding and tidying on the circular border. 😃

Next Saturday we have monthly Gardening & Park Tidy Up. Meeting by the picnic tables at 10:30. Open to all, all welcome, feel free to come along.

It's AGM time, our AGM is at 18:30 Tuesday 5th December at the Moss Trooper. Please feel free to attend. All welcome.

Fabulous turnout for the community bulb planting today in Pickering Lodge Park, #Timperley today! Thank you everyone who came to help. 🌸 🌼 🌺

Some more photos.

After many, many years of reporting and complaining to One Trafford from our Committe, friends of the park and local Councillors, the hedge on Grove Lane has finally been cut back. Looking forward to a lush green safer hedge in the spring.

Date for your diary! 🌳🌳🌳

Residents of Green Drive/Walk have donated funds for an Oak Tree to commemorate the Platinum Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth 11. To be planted, along with bulbs, on Saturday 15th October 2022 10.30 - 12. All welcome for the occasion and donations of bulbs appreciated too.

Our woodland project has been planted. Thank you to all our volunteers for their hard work and @THT_Homes for the funding.

Just a few of us out weeding, trimming and pruning in the park this morning! 🌳🌿🍃🌱

@DeeeTwo @altrinchamtoday It had been badly effected by Chestnut canker that got into the trunk and unfortunately made it unsafe.

@PickeringLodge @altrinchamtoday Does anyone know why one of the large trees has been felled in Pickering Lodge park today?
