Harebell Community Wildflower Planting
We're putting in a wildflower strip along the main path — harebells, campion, ox-eye daisies. Come for an hour or the whole morning. Gloves and seeds provided.

Bertha Park
Two thousand wildflowers, one meadow.
Every family that moves to Bertha Park is a different flower. Every litter pick, every meeting, every wave across the fence — it all blooms together into something you can feel walking down any street here.
In Bloom This Week
Every event is a different flower. Come and add yours to the meadow.
Buttercup Residents Group Monthly Meeting
Planning updates, the new crossing proposal, and a conversation about the community garden expansion. All residents welcome — your voice matters here.
Foxglove Spring Litter Pick
The meadow can't bloom through the litter. Join us for a sweep of the main road verges and the park perimeter. Bags and hot drinks laid on.
Red Campion Youth Football Sign-Ups
New season starting May. Ages 6–14. Qualified coaches, safe environment, real community spirit. Every meadow needs its runners.
The Meadow
News, events, and voices — three species that together make something stronger.

Voices
Fiona M. Resident since 2022“Moving here felt like stepping into something still forming. Three years on, it feels like home — and we helped make it that way.”
David T. Resident since 2023“My kids know every family on our street. That doesn't happen by accident. It happens because people show up.”
Margaret L. Resident since 2022“When I needed help after my operation, three different neighbours offered. That's the kind of place Bertha Park is becoming.”
Deep Roots
Bertha Park didn't come with a community already built in. We made it ourselves — one conversation, one litter pick, one morning coffee at a time.
The Bertha Park Residents Group formed in 2022, when the first families moved in and realised that the connections they wanted weren't going to happen without intention. So they started knocking on doors, hosting coffee mornings, and turning up — again and again — until turning up became the habit of this place.
A wildflower meadow doesn't happen overnight. You prepare the ground, scatter the seeds, and wait. Then one spring morning you walk out and there it is — a thousand colours you didn't plan, growing exactly where they need to be.
We didn't just build houses here. We planted ourselves.
Today we have over 400 households actively engaged. Three working groups. A community garden. A growing programme of events. And a crossing finally happening on the main road. None of it would exist without the people who decided to show up.
Scatter Your Seeds
Every meadow grows one seed at a time. Here's where to start.
