Flour Eggs & Any Old Rubbish; Recipe for Radipole’s Big Fun Day
Things are hotting up for our Big Fun Day (Saturday 24th august 12-4)...
You Win..We Win; Your Views Matter
A busy old time for posting on here, but that's because there is so much going on behind the scenes with our big Heritage Lottery Bid. We are building up to our final submission and I promise that we'll post news on here soon to keep you all updated with what's happening...
Helping Hands are Always Welcome; Asda’s Green Tokens.
We've just crossed another wonderful event off our list. Last Sunday's Band in the Park was well attended, despite not only fierce competition from other large events in the area but also numerous, not to be missed, sporting finals on tv! But as ever, we can't rest on our laurels, it's onwards and upwards with our fund raising for the Sensory garden, even more important as it's only a couple of months away before the ground works start! Events held in our gardens aren't the only way we raise money, we also look to any grants available and various schemes whereby we can add to our coffers. Over...
Excitement; Summer is Here! Keeping it Simple
Summer is Here! Our website was created to promote, inform about events and share our love of Radipole gardens here in Weymouth. But sometimes it's just nice to post simple photos of our stunning gardens....
And the Band Played On; Weymouth Concert Brass Band
I can't believe we are already over half way through the year! Summer is finally upon us, delicious warmth on face, birds music-making in the trees and it's time to drag out and brush off those picnic baskets. What better way to spend a hot summer's day than lying in the dappled shade of our willows, liquid refreshment in hand, those scrummy fresh scones, cream and jam just beckoning you from our tea tent...
Plants Galore Sausage Rolls and Sensory Gardens
Nope, I'm not having one of my dizzy moments. i'm hoping some of you good folk will come along and help us for a variety of reasons. This coming Saturday 18th May is our annual plants sale in the Radipole United Church hall on Spa Road 10-12. The first good reason to help is that it will be a day when my hubster jumps for joy...
Hayley and her Hedgehogs; Why Protecting our Wildlife Really Matters
Here at Radipole we have our own identity that we are very proud of. Sometimes referred to as the Cinderella gardens of Weymouth, beautiful but secreted away in the town's proverbial back kitchen means that these gardens are a quiet green oasis away from the hustle and bustle of a busy sea side resort. Not only that but we are lucky enough to run side by side with Radipole lake and its bird reserve, making this space a perfect wildlife haven. Something we are committed to improving....
Interested; Will you Play a Role in Creating our Sensory Garden?
What is a sensory garden? It is exactly what it says on the tin, a green space where appreciation can be garnered in so many ways. Sound, smell, touch, hearing among others....
Some Knock You Down…Others Pick You Up. Weymouth’s Wonderful Community.
As you might know from the lengthy ramblings on our Radipole gardens Face Book pages and a sizeable piece in the Dorset Echo this week. Our beautiful Radipole Gardens was hit during late last Saturday night by some mindless person/people, who for some unknown reason left a trail of damage through our beautiful gardens. The main notice board took the biggest hit...
Warning!; Wet & Windy Weather; Radipole Park 1955-2012
Wet & Windy Weather. I spend some of my time researching old images, and often come across real gems, albeit by mistake. (Also makes it very hard not to go off on a tangent!) Such was the case over the weekend when someone posted a wonderful photo of old Weymouth. Intrigued I hastened over to the site and uncovered a wealth of Weymouth images going way back in history. Prompted by todays less than springtime weather, I though these very apt. Flooding of Radipole Park Drive in 1955. The only reason I remember this date is because it was the year I was born and my Mum always...
