Tonight's mission was a path clearing extravaganza!

We were helping Transition2, a College for young adults with severe learning difficulties and/or Autism. The College benefits from a super Gardening Tutor - Paul - who supported the team with guidance, tool distribution, gardening advice and endless knowledge, including the Latin names of plants!

The team were tasked with some weeding and lopping to make the paths more accessible ... the plants have loved all this sun and rain, so there was plenty to cut back!

Our rain coats were on, then off, back on, and off again, but the drizzle didn't dampen the spirits of the intrepid team!

Huge thanks to everyone who came and worked so hard to improve the grounds.
