After a slow start tracking the group down in Larkhall park's miniature hills we met around the bed we were set to clear. The Friends of Larkhall had managed to get hold of some spades and forks to attack some tall plants with deep roots.

Originally intended to brighten up the space this plant had sown its seed far and wide and was starting to kill other plants in the bed. Unfortunately it was time for it to go.

We set to work straight away working out from the middle removing a lot of plants, a couple of us set to work removing some dead plants from the hedge in the middle and Sam worked on clearing the litter we unearthed as we cleared. Including a full, unopened bottle of wine!

The Friends of Larkhall park were really grateful for our visit, enabling them to get a lot of work done in a short space of time.
