Summary 2021
Another difficult year, made easier by the lifting of lockdowns and the pleasure people have gained from coming out and Gardening.
The year was dominated by the loss of the Lombardy Poplar in an early storm, which took down a mature ash, a small rowan donated by a volunteer and damaged a holly. This caused damage to the Sunderland Street entrance planting of roses donated by the council via our Councillor, Amanda Rigby. This was compounded by the lack of care in disposal of the chippings and the refusal of the council to remove the tree trunks. After 4 months these were removed from the Sunderland Street bed and after 6 months they were removed from the lawn. FoHP could have achieved this in a matter of days with a local company. As it was Green Man were asked to remove it which they did efficiently.
Two large dead Acers overhanging Henrietta Street were removed in November after three years of notification from the council and again, the trunks were left on the only path.
The councils removal of leaves was much more effective this year and left little damage. This was marred only by the council workers driving a vehicle up the bank by the loos and leaving damaging tire marks.
The council rejected our plans for a scented bee and insect friendly bed which they had requested earlier in the year as they did not wish to take down the Lawsons Cypress, a common species of which we have 4 other specimens in the park. This tree is damaging a nearby Sorbus vilmorinii and a Cornus controversa, and will have to be trimmed back. The clearance work promised in November has not taken place.
ON THE POSITIVE SIDE, the volunteers have worked very hard to restore the Sunderland Street entrance, thoroughly digging it over with plenty of manure and compost. We rescued at least two roses from the new planting and more old roses have been discovered. Trimming back the holly as much as possible will allow the original planting of Mahonia to regrow, and we have suplemented this by a planting of Sarcococca and wallflowers.
The Memorial Garden front lawn has been transformed by the planting of 4 large Phormiums, and the beds planted with Foxglove and Mullein, day lillies catnip and lavenders, and a few perennial herbs and 30 day lilies. The main beds were planted with a donation of £500 by a volunteer and looked very good throughout the summer. The cutting back of the laurels last year meant that this year the revealed Mock Oranges should flower in more profusion this year, though they will take some time to recover from their suffocation.
And of course we restored a Sundial between the planters.
Next year ? more of the same
Thanks to everyone for their support of the park
