It really is a shame, but it seems that ‘The Gardeners Weekend’ event at Kings Heath Park, each September, won’t be happening this year. This well established NATIONAL show has had its funding stopped by Birmingham Conservative controlled Council, who feel that it’s not worth doing. What annoyed many of us is the way the news has got out, many keen gardeners still aren’t aware.
What people have been made aware of, are the cuts being made with Park Rangers and their teams. The council want to move them to Cannon Hill Park and cut almost half the numbers, but who will then teach us and our children about wildlife, plants and archeologically history in our area?
I've put an e-petition on the Council's website if anyone wants to sign it.
