Early on in the year, Chris Day from Buckingham Garden Centre gave us a splendid talk that included his recommendations for plants for each month of the year.
He kindly agreed for us to reproduce them here, month by month.
and Chris ventured to include his top 365 day plants…
and those that are the longest flowering for Buckinghamshire…
Enjoy!
We have some important new infrastructure in Two Mile Ash.
Through a partnership between a generous benefactor, Milton Keynes City Council and TMAEG; and with the support of Abbey Hill Parish Council and residents living nearby, we can now enjoy the benefits of two sturdy double benches.
Installed at the beginning of June by MKCC’s contractors, the benches adjoin our High Street redway, close to the golf course.
This route connects the shopping, bus stops and other facilities of Two Mile Ash with the far end of the High Street, together with Fairways, Westcliffe and Thorncliffe.
They are intended for use by the entire community. But they are likely to be of particular importance for the elderly for whom walking these distances and the steepish slopes they will encounter can be quite a challenge. The new seats will provide resting places along the way.
In sustainability terms they will reduce dependence upon the car. Also, they re-use existing materials – recycled plastic and they are likely to have a long life.
