We were met by the volunteer/shift leader at Borough Food Cooperative who kindly instructed us with the tasks throughout the session.

This session, I focused on packaging and labelling food items, keeping record of the fridge temperatures and arranging the items so they look presentable to the shoppers! Seeing the progress of the store from start to finish is always such a satisfying experience.

It was a lovely way to spend a sunny Monday morning, and again, I can't wait to be back!

Clare, Richard and Sana met Simon at Thorlands Gardens after it was raining all morning, but 30 minutes before the session started the sun appeared.

There was six sign ups, but three showed up to finish off what the group from last weekend started. In three, they measured and sawed wooden frames to size before attaching it to the frames that were made last weekend. Finally, they used the staple gun to staple in the net. These netted frames will be used to protect young saplings and leafy greens that will grow in the Wild Garden next door. Protecting them from birds and foxes, giving them a fighting chance.

The Thorlands Gardens project continues with more of the same next week plus some planting too.
