Sweat was broken at the beautiful ThorLands Garden this afternoon as we took to finding the root of the bindweed and clearing the space for local residents to enjoy.

Phil put some real muscle into up rooting the mother to hopefully prevent the overgrowth of the bindweed from returning.

Litter was cleared, trees were enclosed into a fenced off area to keep foxes at bay and plants were potted by Lucie who went the extra mile to make sure she completed her task.

A beautiful afternoon enjoying taking care the garden together while keeping fit and healthy in the sunshine! Great work everyone ✨🌞🌱
