Shreena, Will and I met as the rain eased off this evening to help clear a garden bed at Fry Court, a local sheltered housing residency. We met Sarah from the organisation who showed us to the full bed. Several of the plants were dying so it was due a refresh so that the residents could plant in it.

Rooting for you

Shreena cleared one half of the bed while I tackled a rose bush and Will took on a huge shrub. Will and I both managed to show our strength not in this removal but by each breaking our implements - whoops!

Before long Shreena and I had cheered Will on enough that he got the huge shrub out with Shreena pulling it out from the other end.

The root was getting better and better

With a clear flower bed, we started removing the soil and filled 6 bags full to allow fresh compost to be laid. An hour later, the flower bed looked totally different, and we got several thank yous from the different residents walking through!
