Big thanks to Jen tonight for doing the organisation and liaising with the community team at Morrisons as well. As a reward, she got to do her most favourite thing ... chopping large branches off trees.

Lucy came with her amazing garden tool bag and Jo had a couple of things in her backpack too so between us we had the tools we needed.

Weeds were pulled out of cracks (insert one of the many jokes here 😉), the planters were also weeded. Fennel's sister plant seemed to be growing everywhere! Hedges were trimmed and the outside area looked much clearer at the end than the start!

We also planted some geraniums and marigolds that were donayed by Morrisons.

A big pile (more jokes!) of greenery was left in the polytunnel for composting.

Great team work as always and amazing to see how much can be done in not much time!
