A fun, action packed, summer festival in the park. What more could you want on a summer's saturday! There will be music, sports, stalls, even a climbing wall.  Bring all your family and friends and a picnic.  AfSL will be holding a stall with Chorlton Plant Swap, so come along for a
chat, and if you have any plants or seeds you want to swap, or simply give away,
bring those along too!

We need to  create beds for the flowers we have already planted. So far they
have simply been planted amongst the grass and clover and weeds. We
need to uproot the grass and clover and weeds from around the plants to
give them a better chance to survive and to highlight their presence.
See pics of the work so far at our website: msgg.wordpress.com

Please also bring along new plants, seeds, bulbs, gloves, tools, wellies, kids, smiles, watering cans, etc.

A landmark tree in the heart of Old Trafford is in danger of immediate felling. The huge black poplar is the largest tree in Old Trafford, one of the most deprived areas in Great Britain. In relation to the rest of the borough of Trafford, Old Trafford is barren of trees and greenery – this tree being a remarkable exception –and thus it is doubly precious to residents who have so few trees around them.
