Gardening 27 May - homeless visitors
Enterprise have mown the lawns and weeded the rose beds this week so the Square is looking fine. As the weather has warmed there have been more homeless people sleeping in the Square again. The plants were wilting a little, especially the hellebore. We watered with the watering cans early Sunday morning and I planted some campanula mixed with the geranium. This bed is looking OK now. Unfortuately someone has taken another of the azelea. The Iberis cotton white have arrived as smallish plugs so we are growing these on for a few weeks. A has kindly taken them in to her care.
Gardening 19 May- tree damage
There was a fight with sticks in the Square last night and some of the small trees were uprooted. Gardening wise, a couple of plants have been taken: an azalia and a rose. We planted some Verbena Voodoo Stars in the bed near the gates. Replaced the damaged clematis and the missing rose. I planted three Globe thistles in the cntre of the bed with pansies.

Gardening update - 4th May
The clemetis has been uprooted despite the protective guard around it.
On Friday 4 May I planted some red and white "St George" geranium plugs in the bed nearest the gate. I moved the periwinkle from the shaded bed and planted them alongside the roses near the gate. Unfortunatedly dogs have already squished a few of the geranium. Let's see whether these smallish plants survive.
