It was a busy day in the garden today, we had plenty of volunteers and visitors enjoying the sun and nature.

The plants received a good watering thanks to a few trips with the wheelbarrow to fill up the watering cans, one of the beds was repaired and the seedlings were separated into pots ready for the Have a Grow Day next week.

Tadpoles are now turning into hopping froglets and strawberries are slowly ripening 🍓

Thank you to one of our fab volunteers who was able to decorate the bed near the front gate with some beautiful signage!

Lastly someone has forgotten their hat! We've kept it safe for you, come down next Saturday or get in contact with us and we can arrange for you to collect it.

One week to go…
