Thanks to generous donations from local businesses in Oatlands and a grant from Surrey County Council, our most recent large project was the planting of the two large, raised brick planters in front of the car park in Oatlands Village on Oatlands Drive.  

 

A climate resilient scheme with four seasons of interest was designed, using shrubs, perennials, herbs and bulbs, to give colour and interest over the longest possible period, and once established, to create habitat for insects, especially pollinators.  The planting is attractive to both passersby and for residents who look down on it from nearby flats. 

 

A smaller project, supported by Elmbridge Borough Council has been the enhancement of the beds in York Road, Churchfields Avenue and at Welcome to Weybridge with additional plants to extend the flowering season and provide plenty of flowers to attract pollinators and insects. Once established a planting list will be provided.
