The planting of ‘Old Oak Dell’ has begun! Horndean Community Association, the owners and managers of Merchistoun Hall and Park have begun the re landscaping of the 4.5 acres of grounds, thanks to a grant from Tesco Bags of Help.
The groundsman and his team of volunteers have begun to clear the ground around the ‘old oak’ near the lake and on Tuesday the children from Horndean Express came to the park to begin the replanting.
They have planted anemones, scilla, harebells and primula, all woodland plants. There will be lots more planting to do in the next few months. There is also going to be some new seating around the lake.
