Volunteers came together on Sunday to plant 1,500 wildlife bulbs and five mature trees in a park as part of a community event.
Wildlife bulbs – including native bluebells, wild garlic, wood anemones and snowdrops – were planted at two of the main entrances to Westow Park in Crystal Palace.
Five alders and one foxglove tree were also planted in the park’s playground to provide shade.
The Autumn Mega Work Day followed on from a similar event in the spring which attracted more than 70 people to plant a wildlife hedge of 350 trees.
Celia Davis, from the Friends of Westow Park, who organised both work days said: "This time we’re brightening up the Church Road entrance and filling the wooded area near College Green with a wealth of native bulbs, adding to the daffodils that are already there."
Volunteer Anna Orchard of Fitzroy Gardens, Crystal Palace, said: "Events like this really bring the community together. It’s a chance to do something for the local environment and meet new people at the same time."
