Leaving the Playhut, to the right of the path we pass the raised beds, a dry area planted with Mediterranean species such as myrtle, lavender, sage, catmint, artemesia and various grasses.

To the left is a willow area – one of our dog-free zones. It is disappointing that some of the willow sculptures planted in this space need further attention. However, we hope that they will establish over the years to allow young children to explore nature through the tunnels and spirals of the sculptures.

Following on, the path forks with a ramp/steps leading onto the canal towpath. On this canalside the soil has been newly conditioned before the planting of evergreen shrubs such as pittosporum, choisya, viburnum and photinia.
