I joined Madeline and some regular volunteers 6 of us in total for their monthly gardening session at The Oasis community Garden in Herbert road. This lovely little garden for the community is run by volunteers and funding they have received, to try make the garden nicer for the local area.

It was my first time here and I'm not the most confident with gardening one of the volunteers it was her first time also and she works as a gardener she paired up with me to show me how to plant daffodil bulbs using a fiskars tool to help dig out holes for the bulbs, I never even knew what this was. We had to clear some of the weeds and litter from surrounding areas first, the area where we worked on would become a wild garden we had some wild flower seeds to sprinkle also. We didn't get round to planting the tulip bulbs.

After the session got under way I got a bit more confident with what I was doing and even used one of electric cutting machines to try and break up some of the harder pieces of mud. This was a really good session I gained bit more knowledge of planting and getting to know different plants but it also pushed me out my comfort zone.

The session runs every third Saturday of the month there is always plenty to do but if you don't fancy the gardening side of things there is always litter picking as this corner gets lot of litter, there is something for everyone 😊
