Although it is not on our programme of events it is thought that an extra day clearing some more balsam would be prudent so we will be meeting this coming Saturday morning the 3rd August at the Coach House at 9.30am.
Please come along if you are available.
We were there both days meeting a greeting people on our Friends of Astley Park stand, giving out information on the projects we have worked on in the park, looking to gain new members and selling raffle tickets for the beautiful, contemporary, floral painting that was done and donated by one of our members.
The draw took place in the main exhibitors marquee at 4pm on Sunday and was performed by none other than Martin Fish, experienced gardening consultant, media personality and writer. The name drawn out was Judith Schmitz so congratulations, the painting is yours to keep.
Finally we would like to thank everyone who took time to come a visit us during the show, to all the exhibitors that made the show what it was and to Chorley Council for organising and staging such a great event, roll on next year.
Tomorrow, Sunday July 28th Chorley Flower Show continues in our glorious Astley Park.
Gates open at 10am and the show closes at 5pm.
The Friends of Astley Park will be there. Our stand is located on the main path through the park before you cross the dam at the front of the lake to get across to the Astley Hall side.
**Due to last minute change, not of our doing, our stand position has now changed. If approaching from the main park entrance it is now the first stand on the left of the main path, just look for the FoAP flag.

Look out for our flag and come in for a chat, we’ve got loads to show you.
HOPE TO SEE YOU THERE!

Maintenance was done on the Sensory Garden on Saturday 18th May.
Twelve of our members were hard at work doing a general tidy up and planting two honeysuckles. Denise and Keith assembled two obelisks to put over the honeysuckles for the plants to climb up.
