On Friday 11th October Bunty and Neil planted up the two winter baskets for outside the station entrance. These were first trialled earlier this year and endured some difficult weather conditions particularly during the cold dry spells of March and April. The baskets spent the summer in Neil’s garden where remarkably many of the plants, especially the ivies, revived. New plants have been added and with the help of Jeff from Friends of Hadfield Station the baskets now adorn the front of the station again. Bunty and Neil will keep an eye on them and change/alter the composition should this be necessary!
FOGS would like to thank High Peak Council for providing what turned out to be a spectacular summer basket – it was a real spectacle! And the assiduous watering by parks’ staff during the very hot spells. Thanks in particular go to High Peak Councillor, Jean Wharmby for arranging us to have this basket.
