The festive season is here, and it’s time to decorate the trees at Dundonal Park with simple, homemade ornaments and treats for the birds. The decorating party will take place Sunday, December 18 from 1 to 3 p.m. in Dundonald Park (at Somerset and Lyon).

Goodies for the birds might include popcorn strings, dried oranges, or suet balls with birdseed. Google has loads of suggestions. Decorations that are neither fragile nor plastic, such as wooden or straw ornaments, are great too. And if you are feeling the urge to bake, treats for people, such as cookies, are welcome.  

The Dundonald gardening volunteers are coming off a spectacular gardening season. They planted 38 shrubs, 113 perennials, 99 annuals and 280 bulbs.
