This week we celebrate 50 good deeds for Pete!!
Arriving fashionably late after starting his special day with a solid 6km run, Pete joined us extending the clearance of a bed in preparation for winter. Running dangerously low on mulch we had to pivot pretty quickly to everyone's favourite task of clearing brambles! Tackling the edge of the prairie garden with gusto we filled two builders bags with our trimmings. And after a productive morning of hard labour and good vibes, we finished up with a tea and a Bakewell slice. Join us for the next one?!
These popular sessions combine an opportunity to do some physical work and also to learn about various aspects of gardening. There are a variety of tasks suitable for all ages/abilities ; sweeping, pruning, digging, weeding, planting, mulching, propagation, transplanting, watering. We also maintain a small vegetable patch where we have planted potatoes, runner beans, courgettes, tomatoes, spinach and kale (produce will be available to volunteers :)). Tools provided, no experience necessary. Gloves provided but please bring your own is you have some. Also great opportunity to meet like minded people, events so far have been filled with chat and laughter, the team usually visit the cafe after the session for a well earned cuppa.
