This year the Fair was held on the 9th March, as usual from 10 until 4pm. Our Friends group set up at Birkenhead Town Hall, in order to raise the Public's awareness of where we are and what we are all about. This is an annual event and we always attend, hoping to inform the general public and to recruit new members and volunteers. Perhaps you have been to this event and seen our stand.

The shed appeal is to try and bring in funds to reinstate the old gardeners' shed, which needs a new roof, guttering so we can collect rainwater to use when planting in the long border, electricity so that we can make hot drinks for volunteers and hold more events in the Arno Rose Garden and water for a toilet and hand washing facilities. This shed would also provide somewhere to store a wheelbarrow and some old tools. At present we have to bring containers of water and all tools each time we work in the Rose Garden. We hope this shed will enable us to offer more social events within the garden too, such as strawberry cream teas in the Summer.
