A wonderful, warm and sunny session with the fabulous Jill and volunteers at Woolston Station Garden. Chris, Steph and Mel were weeding and hoeing the bed along with Sophie and Nicola two local volunteers under the guidance of Patricia. Nicola was diligently sifting the homemade compost ready for us to scatter over the bed. Chris had a lovely last task to trim the buddleia as he does enjoy cutting back. A great hours work and we will be back later this month for another session.

We joined Jill and the lovely volunteers of Woolston Station getting the gardens ready for a Railway 200 event planned for later in the year. Chris, Wilson and I were tiptoeing through the flower beds pulling up the grass, leaving in tact all the wildflowers just coming into flower. This called for a little more delicacy than we have had in some other gardening tasks. We always enjoy learning about the different plants and improving our green finger skills. There will be more sessions in June so we will be back when hopefully we have had some rain.
