Have you visited the Kingfisher Leisure Centre recently? The sun and rain seem to have worked wonders on the wildflower bed, which is looking rather wild and wonderful at the moment!
Wildflower bed
The lilies have introduced a welcome splash of orange in the edible bed. Why not pick a few sprigs of rosemary for flavouring, or some calendula petals to sprinkle onto a salad?
Edible bed
We had a productive morning at the tubs behind Roy’s, with a few unruly plants removed and a bit of pruning on others.
Roy’s kindly donated a couple of plants, and some gravel – so new plants were installed (along with several grown by our volunteers), the tubs were topped up with some fresh soil, and all was topped off with gravel to help with moisture retention during any particularly dry spells.
Meet on 14 July at the back of Roy’s for some sorting out, fixing up and, of course, weeding. The tubs we will be working on are at the seating areas on either side of the back entrance to Roy’s, (across from the back of Thingmebobs) on Great Eastern Road. If there is time we might also pop round to the Kingfisher beds.
New faces always welcome – just come along ready for some gardening!
This Thursday 13th July Grow Your Community wants to make this area of Belle Vue Park lovely.
Grow Your Community needs your help to bring any plants that suit part sun, part shade. Meet at 11am in the woodlands near Ingrams Park Road (parking there too). Thank you. It will also make the park look a bit better for Party in the Park!

If you enjoyed the Taste of Sudbury, you will very probably have gone in to St Peter on Market Hill to browse the food stalls there.
“This beautiful venue sits at the heart of Sudbury life, but we believe it can provide so much more. We have been awarded a grant from Heritage Lottery Fund’s Sharing Heritage programme to develop the venue’s appeal to people of all ages and interests. We would like to know the ideas and opinions of all the different people of Sudbury. This is an opportunity for you to have your say!”

Apologies all, but we are going to postpone our Friday Tidy until next week (14th July) due to work, holidays, and cherry tree-related injuries! We will send out a reminder next week.
