Wednesday 1st April 2026 - Flowers Brook, Ventnor GG #1074

 Terry's photos














Black poplar (Populus nigra) flowers

We returned this week to lovely Flowers Brook to help the volunteers from the Ventnor Enhancement Fund prepare the site for the forthcoming  Ventnor Easter Duck Race.

We helped to clear the brook of any encroaching plants and cut back a few areas along the bank so that the brook can be seen more clearly.  At the bottom of the brook adjacent to the pool a few of the team cut back the Russian vine which is always threatening to overtake the area.  After tea break we worked along the path which goes to Steephill Cove cutting back the brambles and old man’s beard that had grown over and along the handrail. 

This beautiful site was very busy today and there was a constant stream of families and dog walkers enjoying the area, some of whom expressed an interest in our efforts which is always appreciated.

Thank you to Terry for the photos.
