Preparations done for tomorrows wreath making event - hope you can make it - 10am till 1pm in the glass house.
Get ready - wreath making is coming……
If you have secateurs please bring them along - also you might want to bring something to personalise your wreath like baubles to match your Christmas scheme or favourite foliage.
FoSP AGM Wednesday 5 March 2025 at 7pm in the McHattie Community Room - accessed via the courtyard. Join us and tell us what you’d like to happen in the park.
The walled garden, winter garden, conservatory and cafe will remain closed all day tomorrow due to the severity of risk associated with the red weather warning (10:00am-5:00pm). Stay safe.
Hope you are all set for tomorrow’s wreath making event from 10am till 1pm. It’s been a terrible holly year so bring your favourite baubles or adornments to make your wreath shine and secateurs if you have them. Looking forward to seeing you.
What a great FoSP gathering tonight - Neil did an amazing job with the quiz, the FoSP bags were revealed and the Christmas Wreath prep continued. Thanks to all who came along - and there were mince pies 🥧 x
