A bit of trowel and error and we were cutting hedge

Patrick, Beth and Kike were on task to give Mrs F some help tidying up her garden. Patrick was asked to concentrate on making a nice clear gap under a fence whilst Beth and Kike started on some general weeding of beds. We all got stuck in to clearing out some stubborn weeds from between paving slabs with trowels and a knife. When we'd done that we got stuck in to sorting out the front garden where there was a large hedge of what we decided from the smell might have been eucalyptus. Beth did loads of clipping whilst Kike and Patrick bagged and boxed up all the leaves. We finished off with what we think is our top tip for gardening missions - always have a good sweep up afterwards so it looks spick and span!
