August 2016 Environmental garden planted,- bottom dam

AUGUST 2016

BEAUTIFICATION OF THE ISLAND
AT THE ENVIRONMENTAL CENTER

PARKING AREA

This really wasn't looking very nice

   

Wilson and Shepherd digging out

agapanthus and wild garlic from Jan Smuts Ave

And planted them 

Many days later the garden looked much better

AT THE BACK OF THE PLAYGROUND

The old sump was deep and a  bit dangerous.
 Peter filled it with stones

And then put walling over it- safe again!

**********************


ON THE SCHOOL EMBANKMENT

This sewerage manhole was open and deep. 

So Peter covered it with walling

And a thin layer of cement

AT BOTTOM DAM

The reeds needed partially removing

And the island of papyrus halving

Hard and rather cold work for winter
 but Wilson and Shepherd stay cheerful

The inlet to the dam being cleared of reeds




THE TREE ON THE MAIN FIELD
 -IS SAFE TO PLAY ON  NOW

THE SCHOOL EMBANKMENT
BEING CLEARED OF THE INVASIVE
 Inkberry Electrum laevigatum  

All done!
