Green fingered residents will be able to pick up some free compost from Williamson Park in Lancaster on Wednesday 12th August.

The compost has come from the green waste recycled in Lancashire and is available free of charge to residents who wish to pop along between 10.00am and 4.00pm.

Simply take along your own bags and spade to the car park on Wyresdale Road and take away up two bags of free compost. It’s available on a first come, first served, basis so don’t miss out.

There will also be a potting tent for children to plant themselves a pot of wild garden, sunflower or vegetable seeds that they can take home and watch grow.

The dog wardens will also be out and about answering any questions from the dog walkers who regularly use the area.
