Friends of Starbank Park
Picnic

It’s Cherry Blossom time and the fine Friends of Starbank Park – never ones to miss the chance of a party – have laid on a celebration on Saturday 7th May. All proceeds will go towards the Hans Christian Andersen Nature Trail. So why not go along a join in the fun for a good cause as East meets West?
And in case you want to sharpen up your linguistic skills:

The first character 花 meaning flower
And the second character 見 meaning to look or see

Happy Hanami!
