GOLD for #RoyalTunbridgeWells (Small City) 🌻🌻at the “South and Southeast in Bloom” awards ceremony in Farnham, Surrey 😊. ⁦RHS Community Gardening⁩ ⁦William Benson⁩ ⁦Gary Stevenson⁩ ⁦TWBC Mayor⁩ ⁦Royal Tunbridge Wells Together⁩ ⁦Greg Clark⁩

I've finally solved the mystery of the 'galls with antennae' on floating oak leaves. They're Water Stick-insect eggs! Water Stick-insect is an aquatic heteropteran bug.

On 3rd June we found this oak leaf floating in a pool at Scotney Castle. The 'eggs' laid on the underside are in a linear pattern and have 'antennae' protruding through the top of the leaf. Can anyone help identify please? Ian Beavis

Tracey, a volunteer with Shaw Trust & Tunbridge Wells in Bloom, has found being outdoors hugely therapeutic. ‘When I first came to Park Time I couldn’t even come out of my house. I now feel like I am finally back and can achieve anything I want' #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek

So proud of our volunteer Tracey for speaking in front of lots of people today at #lwk2019 She is our #mentalhealthawarenessweek2019 hero! Shaw Trust
