Formosa to celebrate the Coronation Weekend

We are planning a community lunch in the Garden on Sunday May 7th as a part of nationwide proposals for a Coronation Big Lunch to mark the King’s coronation the previous day. Keep an eye on this website & other comms for further details. And one other date now confirmed in the social calendar -- our wine-tasting this year will be on Saturday June 17th!

Garden Works in Pipeline

Many of you will have noticed that during heavy rains water is still collecting in a small area along Warrington Crescent. Work will begin on January 23rd to increase the drainage at the Formosa end of the garden and install a new soak-away channel to drain rainwater from the path outside house numbers 12-14. This work is expected to take five or six days.

Then towards the end of February we will be carrying out the annual pollarding of all the trees around the perimeter of the Garden. As previously the bark will be re-cycled, and chips placed on the paths between the beds.

Who needs the Supermarket....

....if it’s herbs you’re after? Last Autumn we planted some lavender, rosemary & thyme in the Med bed so please help yourself if you want to add extra flavour to your dishes! Have a look at the Garden section on the Formosa Amenity website to see details of when best to pick the individual herbs & what they can be used for.
