The aim was to do some much-needed maintenance of the flowerbed.
Dowerglen resident Ray Hogg, who had worked hard to keep the park clean and tidy, contacted Karen Jones, the adult leader for the 1st Bedfordview Brownie Pack, 1st Bedfordview Guide Company and Nomad Ranger Crew in 2020, to see if the girls would like to adopt a garden in the park.
The challenge was taken up by the Edenvale and Bedfordview units.
Due to the rain, the garden had become overgrown and the Girl Guides came in force to combat the weeds.
All that’s now needed for the garden to thrive is TLC.
The girls plan to do just that and want to turn their little piece of Dowerglen into a magical place.
