Erin and Dre set about helping a lady who very much loved her garden and wanted to be able to get out and enjoy it again. Given this recent weather of lovely sunshine and rain, it mean that the grass had grown really fast and there was brambles overtaking the far side. Dre set about trimming the grass whilst Erin weeded the sides and used a Indian sickle tool the lady had to easily deal with the weeds and bramble. Erin also helped to secure the jasmine plant which is in the second photograph. The weather was hot and the lady kindly supplied us with coconut water to drink which helped to spear us on. She also told us lovely stories about Indian and gave us tips on how to make home made yogurt.

After we finished the task the lady rewarded us with a home made yogurt drink including cumin which she told us would cool us down after our hard work! She was very happy with the progress in the garden too.
