Peacocks Meadow

08/11/2025

The Peacocks Committee are deighted to announce that the garden is now open again. The damaged items have now been removed. But following incidents of malicious damage we are not longer able to accept donations of children's toys and play things for the garden.
It was becoming too difficult for volunteers to contstantly monitor play items for wear and damage, and the the process of disposing of them is time-consuming and expensive.
You are of course welcome to bring your own toys, bikes, etc with when you visit. But please don't leave any further items there, as they will have to be removed.
More positive news. The committee is liaising with a Forest School practitioner to bring structured, natured-based activities to the garden next year.

A message from the Peacocks Meadow committee. Did you enjoy your 'celebration' in the community garden yesterday? While the committee welcomes families and groups of people and hopes they enjoy the garden, we do NOT welcome the people who left a mass of balloons filled with foil behind them. Yes, the man who drove his car, full of party balloons to the garden .... we mean YOU, and your party. It took our volunteers (with the help of young Cubs) over an hour to clear this up. balloons are hazardous to wildlife ..... and the thousands of pieces of foil confetti was an unsightly mess. Thank you to all those who helped clear up after this inconsiderate gathering.

We'd like to thanks the Art in Adams group for their splendid revamp of our sign!
The community garden is especially beautiful at this time of year. Lots to see and do. We have new seating kindly donated by Littleport Timber Buildings. And lots of shady nooks to sit in. The perfect place for a peaceful walk or a picnic.

Huge thanks to the volunteers and those who've donated plants to kick start our fantastic new pond habitat. With special thanks to 'Theresa and Alison's Plants' for their very kind donations.
The first phase of planting has now been completed .... helping to turn a hole in the ground into a gorgeous new habitat.
