"Old Yardley Park was so wet that the Woodland Team had been unable to prepare the ground for the planting of 500 trees because their tractor sank in the mud. We were lucky enough to welcome pupils from The Oval Primary School and Oasis Academy Blakenhale, who weren’t put off at all by the soggy conditions and even some snow! The Lord Mayor and Lady Mayoress arrived to pitch in, working alongside the pupils. ‘Reporters’ from The Oval interviewed the Lord Mayor, the Lady Mayoress and members of BTFL staff to complete an article for their school newspaper and have promised copies to us all. We also enjoyed the support of Friends of Old Yardley Park and the Yardley Conservation Society. Following the event, Yardley Great Trust kindly provided refreshments for everyone in the lounge of their nearby ‘Yardley Gardens’ Alms House site."
