Easter Monday perfectly celebrated; surrounded by bluebells, white bells, daffodils and tulips! We made use of our work free day continuing the great work already done clearing and tidying The Devonshire Practice garden.

Paul distributed a few tasks between us.

Sarah pruned the bay tree, shaping it beautifully to allow more to be planted underneath.

Tracey continued to tidy up all the debris from around potentially the oldest cherry tree is Portsmouth, which really opened up the space making the garden look even bigger.

Aaron and Rosie cleared rubbish and prickly pyracanthus cuttings disturbing lots of yummy wild garlic smells!

Whilst Paul effortlessly pulled up some plants no longer needed and took to the massive challenge of controlling the ivy on the back wall and keeping the neighbours company, checking they were okay with what he was doing.

We had a short biscuit break, Rosie had bought to celebrate her 100th good dead. Then back to it with more pruning, cutting back, digging and clearing.

We were amazed at how much we managed to achieve together in a few hours, brilliant team work!
