We held an indoor planting session with our Memories Scotland reminiscence group in November 2024. In this session we planted spring bulbs with some winter pansies on top (something for now and something for later). We discussed memories of the garden and identified herbs that had been donated by a member of the community garden. The group took a pot home and left one each for the Mayfield Secret Garden.
Wildflower Meadow Planting With the Butterfly Conservation
As part of Green Libraries week, the library worked in partnership with the Butterfly Conservation to plant wildflower seeds on the meadow beside the Mayfield Community Centre.
We were joined by pupils from St Ninians Primary and Borestone Nursery. Alice from the Conservation shared information about the pollinators we were planting and how they would benefit the wildlife.
The Butterfly Conservation x Braehead Community Gardens
To celebrate Green Libraries Week, we visited Braehead Community Gardens along with pupils from Braehead Primary’s Eco group. Alice from the Butterfly Conservation taught us all about butterflies and moths and provided us with pollinator plants which we planted into recycled milk cartons. The plants were then shared between the community garden, the school and the Mayfield Secret Garden.
