Today we joined in with Greening Wingrove's Doing Day at the Bike Garden. we joined a few other volunteers in the garden and me and Aimee were assigned to cutting back the hedges with long and short handle shears - as well as a saw!. Preserving habitats but clearing off some space in the winter months. It was great to hear from Hannah in the garden about what they are going to do with the branches - a dead hedge! more habitat for the garden!

we'll be back again in 3 weeks time - hope to see you there!
