We Planted A Tree!
West Bridgford Park - 17 December 2015
Posted on 22 January 2016
On 17 December West Bridgford WI planted a tree in West Bridgford Park to commemorate 100 years of the WI. It's a Holly or Evergreen Oak (Quercus Ilex).
Already the plaque has been broken off, but a member's husband has screwed it back on to the post. Many thanks to Park Staff who dug a big hole, it gets quite stony lower down! They added compost and surrounded it with stakes to secure the tree. We need to raise a little more money for its upkeep etc, but Sue has offered to have another Garden Party in the summer.
Thanks to those who turned up to mark the occasion - do visit it when the weather is more clement. See more photo in the gallery.

Wreath Making at Attenborough
8 December 2015
7 members made wreathes at Attenborough Nature Reserve. We were joined by 2 other ladies who were desperate to join a course, but all were booked up, so we enjoyed their company too.
First we teased whips of willow into a wreath shape, then these were decorated with greenery, berries, etc. We were pleased/amazed with the results and some are shown here. For more photos see Gallery /photo-gallery.html_
