Flower displays dazzle

Spring has sprung in Council parks with spectacular displays at Pollard Park and Seymour Square.

Garden beds at both parks are full of masses of tulips, poppies, polyanthus, salvia, forget-me-nots and pansies.

Work in the parks is now focused on maintaining the beds, with regular weeding and hoeing.

Late winter was a busy time with the gardening team cutting back perennials and pruning roses and hydrangeas to ensure a high standard of presentation.

The popular rose and hydrangea pruning demonstrations were held in Pollard Park with good numbers attending.
