Eleven of us met on a miserable Monday evening, but were keen to make a difference to Watling gardens.

Kieran and Alan were there to greet us and offer us tools and we swiftly set to work. Liz and Lee took on the hard task of pruning all the long grass that was reaching out to the road side. They did an incweedible job of it. Sabina, Karen, Danny, Samina and Kat and Amy all worked hard at removing every last weed from bed number one. Pete and I had a good go at bed number two, weed did our best! Pete soon got to grips with the large hoe which he found to be a versatile tool. Guiliano rocked up to show us how it was done and did more than just tickle the plants with his sickle. We'ed just discovered how a great a team we made when suddenly the heavens opened and we had to dash under the cover of the trees and hedges, hoping it was only a shower. Luckily for us it didn't last long and we quickly dried off and finished what weed been doing.

We left on a high , promising to be back soon !
