A beautiful sunny Monday even greeted us for our activity at Hollybush on Monday, although a little chilly! We were greeted by the lovely Margaret ready for us to get going, but not before showing us how the worms were getting on!

A task of weeding and maintaining the gardens lay before us - folding over daffodils and ziptying them down so they grow back into the bulbs and resurface next year - who knew that was a thing?! We loving learning new things whilst we're out and about. The rest of the beds were to be weeded - but ensuring we left the poppies alone!

Before we knew it time was up and we got sweeping to tidy up before we got on our way again, a few of us popping off for the training at Meath Gardens with Laura, and the others heading home.

A wonderful evening had by all!
