Last summer we received a grant of £1500 from 'Paths for All' to put up better signage in Castlebank Park.The lovely new sign boards have now been erected to show the Dell Path and Clyde Walkway routes. They also give a great deal of information about the flora and fauna in the area. Grateful thanks to South Lanarkshire Council who gave us a great deal of help with the design and contributed to the cost.

Beautiful day at Castlebank. It started off very misty and then the sun came out and the park was thronged with youngsters sledging. Great to see kids (and adults) having so much fun.

You may not be able to get to work today because of the snow but take a walk to Castlebank Park which is looking magical with all the snow.

Great news yesterday. We have finally got the grant funding we need to renovate the derelict sawmill building at Castlebank Horticultural Centre. This ruin will soon be no more!

A great weekend at the Horticulture Centre with the Xmas Workshops. Many thanks to all who supported us and especial thanks to Cammy Murray who ran the Christmas Wreath workshops and Jean Gardiner for the Floral Art Workshop.

This little fellow followed the Castlebank volunteers on our walk around the park today to check out areas we need to attend to before spring. Such a friendly wee chap no doubt hoping we would dig up a few worms for him. Sorry pal maybe next time .

Many thanks to the guys of Lanark Fire Brigade who came to help us move heavy slabs and sand ready for our new composting area. A great job.

Many thanks to all who came along to support our Autumn Fayre last Saturday. We raised just over £300 which will be used to buy plants for the gardens. Grateful thanks also to our willing volunteers who worked to make the day a success and to all who contributed baking and tombola prizes.
