Tonight we were helping Maria from the Lockleaze neighbourhood trust with her planter moving mission! The task was to empty a big planter so that it could be moved across the square and re-planted by the local community.

We got to work shoveling soil into big bags and barrowing them over to outside the community centre so they would be ready for refilling the planter. Everytime we had filled all the bags Maria managed to ask a passerby for some garden bags and magic up a constant supply!

We later realised this would need to be a 2 part mission so then had the fun job of moving the barrowed bags back again so they could be stored until the planter is moved (hopefully during our return visit).

Big thanks to Rich G, Alice W, Jenny, Julie and Clo for their heavy lifting and shifting and lovely company. It feels great to be back doing good again!
