Clitterhouse Farm is a regular haunt of both GG Barnet and Brent and today they were hosting an event alongside The Youth Sports Trust.

I arrived to see that Patrick had already tasked Sarah with filling up one of the planters, a planter which many months ago we had emptied the rubbish out of during another visit. Armed with some shovels and a wheel barrow we made our way to and fro from the planter to the back of garden where the soil was kept - we lost count of how many trips we made! After the first couple of trips it looked like we weren't making a dent but many more trips later we got to the half way mark, where we then decided it would a good time to take the fig tree from its pot and place it in the planter. After filling up the planter with a few more barrows of soil we then placed two bushes and five purple leafed plants to adorn the base of the tree. We used 4 bags of compost and compacted it down around all the plants and then after a few photos we called it a day. Sarah went off to another mission πŸ’ͺ🏽 and Valentina arrived after we left to lend another helping hand.
