A great visit to Clissold Park to help the Wild flower/ Rose garden breath and prosper.

With the new planting philosophy outside the main house in full swing, combining no chemicals, wild flowers along with the remaining rose bushes to create a sustainable and environmentally friendly beautiful green space.

The downside is that weeds need weeding! After our bind weeding last visit we were tackling the yellow headed annoying thingy (named by Quentin from the park).

Treading lightly and trying where possible to stay out of the flower beds themselves we uprooted a massive pile of the yellow headed weeds in just over an hour of action. clearing the space and nutrients for the wild flowers to prosper and grow.

A huge impact in a short time, hopefully by our next visit we will start to see the wild flower progress!

Great effort from Abie and Maya for a proper green fingered workout!!
