On arrival, we were greeted warmly by the residents. We were shown the gardening tasks and the selection of gardening tools that a resident had left for us to use. This was Sandra's first task and she got stuck in straight away! Sandra was very knowledgeable about plants and helped us to identify the plants in the flower bed. Emily worked hard to dig up the grass that had grown over the flowerbeds alongside Sandra and myself. We couldn't believe how much we dug up and filled a huge bag that at the end required us to test our boot camp skills and dragged it to the front of the building! We all welcomed a thirst quenching cuppa offered to us by a very lovely resident! We hope to return soon as there's still much to do.
