Last night, I attended a meeting of local people interested in setting up a friends group for Riverside Nature Park. We had great input from the Friends of Barnhill Rock Garden, who explained how they got started and have become a hugely impressive team that has done so much to improve the Barnhill rock garden.On 16th June, the Friends of Riverside Nature Park will be officially established, with the official launch of information plinths at the Nature Park. Taking part during WestFest week, it is great to see the new Friends group getting established, joining other Friends groups in the West End at Magdalen Green, Balgay Park and the Botanic Garden.
