Taking stuff down is always easier than putting it up. Especially fuelled by the last lonely sausages and drinks from the BBQ stall and cakes from the baking competition. Volunteering to finish up food - what's not to love? Luckily, although there were just 2 of us from GG, Petersham Horticultural Society stall holders and organisers got the job done quickly and we left the school ready for classes to resume, as if we'd never been. And, as with Chelsea Flower Show Saturday...the plants had to go, so many a bargain was to be had once the take down was complete. In summary: easy peasy take down, satisfaction on leaving the place looking clean and tidy, free cake, free bbq, reduced price plants, lots of fun and laughter. Diarising this one for next year?
