Dear Editor,
I have been visiting Paulik Park for several years now and I am amazed to see the wonderful changes that have happened under Richmond Garden Club’s guidance. Each and every one of these changes have been well thought out. Environmental concerns are obvious.
The original plants and trees, if healthy, have remained. New wandering pathways have led us to perfect small areas, weeds have disappeared but perennial plants have been allowed to grow in profusion. Birds, bees, butterflies have been encouraged.
There have been so many hours of hard labour put into this little jewel of a park and more and more people are learning about our wonderful hidden delight.
The huge ongoing commitment that is needed should be noted by everyone strolling and delighting in the colours, fragrances, and varied sights.
Thank you to all of the many young and not so young people who spend their few spare days doing great physical work so that we can enjoy respite in the park.
Pat Ritchie
