Beams in the wildlife garden

Two giant oak beams were lifted into place to finish the entrance to the wildlife garden. They have come all the way from some fallen down trees in Richmond Park in southwest London.

The garden is coming to life again now, but the recent frosts have slowed the growth of the new shoots. However the warm weather due towards the end of this week should help them along. This is one of the best times to look for birds in the park as they are singing loudly and showing themselves off. As the leaves aren't on the trees, they can be seen that much easier.

The garden is open all year round to the public during daylight hours. It is located off York Bridge and is adjacent to the tennis courts.
