Development of Nurse Peattie's Garden

Post date: Dec 02, 2014 10:21:1 AM

The money we raised at Garden Day 2014 is going towards the restocking and redesign of Nurse Peattie's garden. Caroline Boyle, Ian Lamond and Les Bisset from the Horticultural Society and Alistair Robinson from the Community Council met representatives of Perth and Kinross Council Environmental Services today to discuss preparatory work. Before planting can begin in earnest in the Spring, the Council has agreed to to remove certain trees and to tidy the area by the burn where there is a growing wilderness of self-seeded bushes and mini trees. This will allow much more light into the garden and existing and new plants will be able to benefit from greater water and nutrient uptake.. As work develops we shall include regular updates with photos on this site. Plans for replanting and redesign will be on show in the village for general approval in early Spring.
