Today Beatrix and the Friends of Canonbury Square focussed on trimming back the sage and rosemary bushes and building a dead hedge, while I got stuck in with aerating the lawns. I joined forces with some Friends to shear some plants, which will apparently come back stronger now they've been cut back, and should produce lovely yellow flowers in the summer. After a welcome tea and biscuit break, we clipped a plant which was overgrowing by the fence and tidied away the branches. A relaxed morning overall, with lovely chats, very satisfying results, and a bonus take-home fresh bundle of rosemary and sage!
