Spring is here! As if you haven’t already heard it from the birds themselves.

It’s a prompt 8.30am start in the carpark off Plum Lane.

Remembering Ron

We hope you have had the pleasure to run across Ron Senkus sometime over the last five decades, working somewhere in the Dothill Allotments or roaming the rest of Shrewsbury Park being an active member and steward of Shrewsbury Park – and walking his dogs.

We’ll miss you, Ron.

But we know you’ll continue growing along with the trees and bulbs and veg and signposts and your immense knowledge with which you blessed the whole of the park. Ron served on the management committee since our founding meeting in 2006, sharing his extensive environmental advice, practical crafting skills and humour.

There is a plan in place to develop the Rowton Road open area which started as a hedgerow – planted by Ron and members about 8 years ago – and enrich it with native bluebells and tree with a circular seat round it in his memory.

If you would like to donate please click here.,….

We’ll let everyone know when planting begins if you want to help.

With heartfelt thanks,

The current Management Committee
