Springtime in urban parks brings a magical transformation, as trees begin to don their lush green foliage, creating a stunning canopy against the vibrant blue sky. This serene moment, captured in the heart of our city, showcases the beauty and tranquility that nature provides even in bustling urban environments.
The Canopy of Life One of the most refreshing experiences during a spring walk in the park is gazing up at the canopy formed by trees. The interplay of light and shadow, the rustling leaves, and the contrast between the green foliage and the clear blue sky create a mesmerizing spectacle. This natural artwork reminds us of the resilience and beauty of nature, thriving amidst urban landscapes.
A Closer Look at the Trees 🌲 As we admire the trees, it's fascinating to note the variety and uniqueness each species brings to the park. From the tall pines to the sprawling branches of deciduous trees, each plays a vital role in the ecosystem. The greenery not only provides shade but also serves as a habitat for various urban wildlife, making the park a lively and dynamic space.
Capturing the Moment 📸 These photos were taken on a clear, sunny day, emphasizing the contrast between the vibrant green leaves and the deep blue sky. The fresh, new leaves symbolize the beginning of a new cycle of life, filled with growth and renewal. Each picture tells a story of nature's persistence and its ability to thrive, even in urban settings.
The Importance of Urban Green Spaces 🌿 Urban parks are essential for maintaining the ecological balance in cities. They provide a sanctuary for residents to connect with nature, reduce pollution, and support biodiversity. Trees, in particular, play a crucial role in this by absorbing carbon dioxide, producing oxygen, and offering habitats for birds and insects.
Conclusion As spring continues to unfold, take a moment to appreciate the canopy above. It’s a reminder of the incredible beauty that surrounds us and the importance of preserving these green spaces for future generations. Whether you're a nature enthusiast, a photographer, or simply someone who enjoys a peaceful walk, the urban park canopy offers a perfect escape into nature's embrace.

"Urban Green Spaces: Enhancing Cities for People and the Planet"
Introduction: Urbanization has led to an increasing need for sustainable city planning, and one pivotal aspect of this transformation is the integration of green spaces within urban landscapes. From bustling metropolises to local neighborhoods, the development of urban green spaces is a global movement that not only enhances the quality of life for residents but also plays a crucial role in…
The sun has been shining today, the official first day of Spring, after a week of rain and even hailstorms, so it seems a good time to share a snapshot of the plants we are enjoying in Dalston Curve Garden right now.
Today is St David’s Day, a day of national celebration for Wales, and as Daffodils are the Welsh national flower, first on our list is Narcissus ‘Tete a Tete’. This is the earliest of the Daffodils that emerge here and this year they’ve been flowering since the beginning of February. We aim to have Daffodil varieties in flower one after the other, right through to the end of April, planted in the ground and in tins and containers.
Our tins of yellow Daffodils look good next to purple Crocus. As well as planting them in containers, we grow Crocus tommasinianus ‘Ruby Giant’ under trees, and in our ‘Bee Bed’. We love the way Crocus open their ‘faces’ when the sun is shining, but as we’ve had so many overcast days of late, sadly they’ve remained more closed than open this year!
Several years ago we planted a tiny clump of Dog Violet (Viola riviniana) and have been happy to see them spread more and more ever since. Although the pretty little flowers are not scented like those of Sweet Violet, they are attractive to bees and as their leaves are evergreen, Dog Violets do a good job of covering bare ground all year round.
The Hellebores have started to clump up nicely in our ‘woodland’ bed. Lovely as they are, their downward facing ‘sulky’ flowers are best appreciated from a low crouching position. Alongside them, we are enjoying the spotty leaves of Pulmonaria (Lungwort) Their strange bi-coloured, pink & purple flowers are a good source of nectar for any Bumble or Solitary Bees emerging from hibernation on warm days in early Spring, when there are not many other flowers available.
Although Alkanet (Pentaglottis sempervirens) can take over if not kept in check, it is another Spring flowering plant that’s good for several bee species and other pollinators, so we are happy to make it welcome in some parts of the Garden. Bees are also supported by the unusual dusky pink Primroses that were donated to us last year from a garden in Wales and are settling happily in their new Hackney home.
With so many beautiful flowering bulbs and plants emerging after winter, this really is an uplifting time in the Garden. Many thanks to our hard-working team of volunteers who planted hundreds of bulbs last Autumn that are now bringing so much joy to Dalston in early Spring.

Two hours spare after Sunday Mass weren’t quite enough for a lengthy trip into the countryside, which gave enough of a reason to dip the toes into one of Bristol’s urban parks we haven’t visited. Walking along the river through the woods in early autumn presented some beautiful scenery; a reminder of what beautiful spaces can be created even in the densest and drabest urban areas.

Took a short walk along a local water course today. I followed it downstream until the footpath ran out. The water body has been the centre of many recent local environmental improvement schemes, wetland habitat creation, pollution management and river bed modifications, all these works aiming to improve the ecology of the waterway and the surrounding regions.
The region is home to a complex plethora of species of flora, too many to list here! A point of interest along the walk was this Crack Willow (Salix fragilis) tree, seeming to have pulled up an area of turf, creating a small undercut in the bank, possible providing shelter to many resident fauna.
Alot of pollution and debris collected sadly along the water course, though having ran studies of the water quality myself there is no major call for concern, just needs a litter pick!
Many birds spotted along the walk the most abundant being the Mallards ( Anas platyrhynchos). other species of note where Moorhens (Gallinula chloropus), Black-headed gulls (Chroicocephalus ridibundus) and a family of Blue tits (Cyanistes caeruleus), comprised of this years fledglings.
Large areas of dense vegetation have sprung up in the last few weeks along the less travelled parts of the footpath. This region of Cow parsley( Anthriscus sylvestris) was home to a large quantity of nectivorous insects (as well as responsible for turning my black jacket white with pollen!)
My walk ended with my path being blocked by a fallen tree and a collection of washed up debris by the river, but not before spotting a group of three Wrens (Troglodytes troglodytes) with two Blackbirds (Turdus merula) drinking from along the concreted bank side.
On my return walk, a small deviation along a secondary stream led me to this photogenetic wildflower meadow, no doubt sown by the local volunteer group, filled with native flowers such as Ox-eye daisies (Leucanthemum vulgare) and Red clovers (Trifolium pratense) helping to provide a habitat to bees, butterflies and countless other species, it was a lovely sight to conclude my days journey.
I hope you enjoyed! more posts to come! until next time, I’ll see you in the wildwoods!🌳📸🌳
