Over the last few years bit by bit we have been renewing the hawthorn/blackthorn hedge along Manor Farm Road from the Sports Pavilion Car Park as far as the mini-roundabout. On Wednesday 4th March we planted some 300 more whips, completing the final lengths. Our grateful thanks to personnel from the Parks Dept for their help on the day and to Southampton City Council for providing the plants and chestnut fencing.

Southampton City Council – Community Chest Grant
We would love to take the opportunity to thank Southampton City Council for their amazing support with a Community Chest Grant. This has enabled us to carry out vital works around the park, and maintain our newsletters and litter-picking equipment.
