I was joined by Sophie and Ed today at Alberta Estate Communal Gardens on a lovely sunny Sunday morning. We met Alex who informed us of our task which involved moving a huge delivery of woodchip to a corner of the garden. It was a big task as there were a good few tonnes of the chip to be moved. We powered on through and managed to get all the woodchip moved and even had a chance to cover some of the beds in the woodchip to prevent weeds from growing and improve the soil quality. Our reward at the end was picking some delicious berries they had been growing on the estate!!
