Supporting Nature in Roath Park Wild Gardens
Working with Gareth Stamp, the Park Ranger for Roath Park, we have made a major impact on the spread of Himalayan balsam and cherry laurel in the Wild Gardens. We have also removed some of the bamboo and planted whips of native trees such as holly, crab apple and alder. Over time this project will increase the range of plants growing there and enhance biodiversity in the wood.
The next stage of our work is to remove more cherry laurel in order to encourage a greater diversity in the woodland understory. This is a real opportunity to make a difference for nature, the more people who can join us the greater success we will have.
The sessions will run from 10.30am to 12pm. Meet at the bridge on Wild Gardens Rd. Stout footwear and ‘gardening clothes’ are advised.
