Spring seems to have sprung today and the volunteers have been taking full advantage! Jobs tackled have been a good old clear out and clean up of The Hermitage (right hand image) ahead of the regular 'last Saturday in the month' openings starting in March, and checking over the flower beds and borders (left hand image) ahead of the gardening sessions commencing next Tuesday.
