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.
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.
On Tuesday 24th September, St Ninians Library hosted an open evening with garden and wildlife organisations. The purpose of the meeting was to express the intent of the Mayfield Secret Garden project and highlight volunteer opportunities within the local area. We were joined by customers and representatives of the council and library service. Ideas for the garden were noted on a flip chart and an invite to form a new community group was shared.
the Butterfly Conservation, Braehead Community Gardens, Bannockburn House, TCV, Woodcraft Folk, Treelink and St Ninians Primary were some of the groups that presented. Visitors enjoyed puzzles, locally grown produce and seed bomb making.
