Dear Messenger…
At the Friends of Firth Park AGM, with representatives of the council present, and after the disappointment of having to cancel the launch in August, it was agreed that the launch should take place in the Spring, as this will give the planting time to establish itself. Date to be fixed and publicised as soon as possible.
If you have passed the ‘Ripples’ area recently you may have noticed that the planting of trees, shrubs and plants for the wetland area has now been completed. It has made a tremendous difference and it is good to see it looking so much more welcoming. The successful artist for the totem poles project will hopefully be in place by December and will be working with young people and adults, with the installation being the end of March. The other addition will be the giant Hand and Foot, which were created as part of the ‘Journey to Hidden Places’ – a creative arts project, based in Firth Park and Wincobank. An informative booklet has also been produced with details of where all the other art works are.
