Emily and myself went to the Quaker Centre to help tidy up a couple of flower beds that looked a bit dry and overgrown. Emily got straight in with the loppers hacking back the dead bushes and plants that had dried out in the hot summer weather. We definitely need more rain! I grabbed the broom and swept up along the path and pulled out the dead leaves that needed to go in the compost.

Virginia then joined up and went up the ladder to get rid of the dead branches that were coming through a shared fence. She has a strong head for heights!

Soon the hour was up and the garden was much improved. Great task and a different way to make the bed in the morning.
