Marlborough Town Council has shared a behind-the-scenes look at the maintenance of a popular garden.
Marlborough Town Council posted a detailed update on the upkeep of the award-winning Wye House Gardens, situated just a short stroll from the High Street.
The garden, which has previously received the 'Pride in Parks Award' from Southwest in Bloom, requires year-round care to maintain its beauty.
The primary caretaker, Mark, carries out various tasks to keep the garden in top shape.
His routine includes cutting back geraniums to encourage a second bloom, planting other flower varieties for the summer bedding, and hoeing different sections of the garden daily to prevent weed growth.
Regular pruning, hedge cutting, mowing, and edging of paths are also part of his duties.
The council shared images of the neatly edged paths and trimmed hedges, showcasing Mark's meticulous work.
The council also mentioned that the boxes in the Wye House play area are being emptied in preparation for new growth, and some new flowers are waiting to be planted at the back of the gardens.
A council spokesperson said: "Wye House Gardens is a peaceful sanctuary found just over five minutes from the main High Street."
