Harrogate's Stonefall Park has earned an 'Outstanding' rating in the RHS In Bloom awards for the second year running.
The award, in the ‘It’s Your Neighbourhood’ category, recognises the work of the Hookstone and Stonefall Action Group, whose volunteers look after the park and nearby Hookstone Woods.
The group is now inviting more people to lend a hand. Volunteers meet about once a month to help maintain the park and woodland.
No gardening experience is needed, and people can come along whenever they have time.
Families can also take part in annual events including the Great British Litter Pick and the Big Garden Birdwatch.
Anyone interested in getting involved is welcome at the group’s AGM on Thursday 26th November at 7pm at Woodlands Methodist Church Hall.
George Eglese will give an illustrated talk on Harrogate’s spa heritage and introduce the newly formed Harrogate Spa Society.
He will outline its plans to protect the town’s mineral springs and reconnect its gardens, woodlands and surrounding landscapes.
To join the group’s mailing list, email HASAGgroup@outlook.com.
