The completion of the path through Barry’s Meadow from West Street to the centre of the village with access for pushchairs and buggies prompted the Trust to find other ways of enhancing the space.

So, during the first weekends of November, we organised 2 bulb planting sessions partnering with Titchfield Gardeners Club and Titchfield Primary School.

Thanks to everyone who took part, and to those who donated bulbs: St. Margaret's Nurseries, Hollam Nurseries, Fareham Borough Council, Titchfield Village Trust, Titchfield Gardeners Club, along with many others.

Thank you also to Daisy B's Kitchen who supplied drinks on both days and kindly donated goodie bags to the children who helped.

At a rough count some 500 or so bulbs were planted and we’re looking forward to the spring to see the fruits of our labour. We hope you enjoy them as well.

Plans are being developed to perhaps encourage more planting next year, and an even more ambitious project is being worked on for other parts of the meadow to improve not only it’s appearance but also help fulfil The Trusts commitment to the ‘Greening of Titchfield Project’ being fostered by Fareham Borough Council

Watch this space for further developments.
