Pretty

The little community garden at Hirst Lock has matured and is looking very pretty; it's hard to remember now that about four years ago it was quite a bleak and bare area, until the Hirst Wood Regeneration Group decided to create something for people to enjoy. Behind it the wildlife reserve is coming along well, though it looks a bit too manicured at present. I suppose getting the hard landscaping of walls, seats and paths in place is important and the planting (and wildlife hopefully) will soon establish itself to soften it all.
