Mandy and Tracey enjoyed a volunteering session with Elvaston Castle and Gardens Trust in the sensory garden and courtyard area.

Along with other volunteers we helped with weeding, dead-heading and clearing stinky sludge from the water trough. Really rewarding!

Why not come along to the Woodland Festival this coming weekend? Those who have already volunteered with the Trust can take part in a community mission to share enthusiasm and encourage more people to join the friendly team. Everyone else is welcome to meet us and learn more, and also to enjoy the sights and delights of the festival.
