Liz, Lucy, Rosie, Sam, Africa and Anita brought a bit of Good Gym Christmas magic to the Arcade in Buccleuch Gardens, Richmond by clearing the lawn of leaves and creating 7 Christmas wreaths to decorate the black metal shutters of the Arcade.

Starting with willow circlets made from withies ( some made earlier in the year from willow withies and others created earlier in the day from fallen branches in the Gardens) we wrapped them in ivy, silver sashes and red ribbon and mounted them along the Arcade shutters.

There wasn’t time to decorate the Three Pigeons Plot so look out for another mission later in the week to decorate the Insect Hotel and create two Christmas Trees from two of our hand-made willow withy ’triffid’ plant supports.
