We are very much looking forward to welcoming everyone at our stall Trinity Gala this Sunday 25th August 12-4. New tote bags will be available! Please bring plants, apples, books, jams to donate to the stall. Lavender bags and homemade soaps available too! #Trinitygala #stall

Sadly, due to the appalling weather forecast for today, we've had to cancel the Trinity Gala. Instead, come to Wardie Parish Church at 11am for a service accompanied by the Edinburgh Brass Band. From 12 - 2pm, join us for an Porto & Fi burger; baking; books & bric-a-brac.

We are very excited to share our pop up Plant Sale on Saturday 7th September 2024. Lots of lovely goodies available from lavender bags to soaps and of course PLANTS. Come along and support your local park. #donationswelcome #plants #soaps #lavenderbags #localsale #jams

Which bumblebee is that? 🥴 Bumblebee ID can be tricky at this time of year. With queens, workers and males all visiting flowers, there is a variety of colours, patterns and conditions on show🎨 Here are our top tips for putting all the clues together 🧵1/5

It’s a beautiful autumnal day Starbank Park and a lovely day to take a walk outside and soak up some sunshine. Even our dahlias think it’s autumn!!🍂 #autumn #parkwalk #comeoutdoors #walkandtalkinthepark. #meetyourcommunity #feelbetter

Another beautiful day Starbank Park ! Quick get your picnic rug and a book and come straight over 🍂🍁🧺📓. Perfect day to start a journal, record butterflies, read a short story or just simply do nothing and listen to the birds. #Starbankgazers #naturejourney #picnicinthepark

Help us caption this photo 🐝 What is the reason for this bumblebee high five? 🙌 📷 Les Moore

We had a fun at our pop up Plant sale despite the damp misty start. Thanks to our volunteers for working hard to make it happen and thanks also to the people who came and enjoyed our traybakes! It’s nice to get together as a community and catch up with friends. #community
