The Wheel
Bee Bold Pollinator Project Southfield Recreation Ground Work on the Southfield Community Garden
has continued over the last year with the Council working closely with Radstock In Bloom to deliver the project. Hard landscaping has been completed and an outdoor classroom installed. Volunteers have worked hard to install compost bins, create ‘dead hedges’, landscape, planting and much more. Interpretation boards have been created and community involvement has included visits from 1st Radstock Beavers who have enjoyed building a bug house, dead hedge and planting spring bulbs. Over the coming months, the Town Council looks forward to
welcoming numerous community groups as regular users of the Community Garden. Six Interpretation boards have arrived illustrating Wildflowers, Minibeasts, The Pollination Process, Dead Hedges, The Composting Process and Bees of Britain. We look forward to their installation. Next steps for the project will include grading of the ground in preparation for the installation of raised beds ready for winter planting. The rain harvesting system will also be put in place to capture rainfall from the outdoor classroom, helping to make the site more sustainable. There will be clearance of existing hedging and the replanting of hawthorn hedges.
