A few words turns into an afternoon's work
"That's a bit overgrown"

& Hours later there's the beginning of a new flowerbed! 🌱

Our Task Day on Saturday was in the New Jerusalem Woodland,

The path got a good debramble and cut back, Bill laid the liner and bark ready for a RCP bench to be added and Phil gave the Mother Zen chair a lick of paint.
Thank you Heather, Phil, Bill, Colin and Andrew for going out into the wilderness! 🪏

Thank you to Sue Smith for your Buddha head donation this really a lovely peaceful part of the woodland 🪷

Great work everyone! 💙

Thank you so much to McGowans Gardens
We're running low on volunteers at the moment so we need the community to step up where they can, teamwork makes the dream work as they say! 💙

Whilst the weather has finally cooled down a little for now, volunteers were still out in the heatwave looking after the flowers & plants ensuring they survive the lack of rain ☀️

Last year St Paul's Church Gardens had liners added with bark over the top to retain as much water as possible & we'd absolutely recommend this for all gardens to save on your water bill!💧

In other news, you may notice some new additions to the areas we cover, garden stakes with our information on & some leaflet holders holding some new leaflets for anyone who may be interested in volunteering with us, if you happen to know anyone who you think may be interested, please take one & pass it along! 💙

Happy weekend everyone!

We have a favour to ask,
The Holcombe Brook Corner team has been busy, doing their best to keep the area tidy & looking pretty, if there's anyone who lives nearby who could water the flower bed near the traffic lights we'd be ever so grateful, this weather has been quite harsh & they can dry out quicker than normal ☀️

Thank you to The Scruffy Pup-Dog Grooming Tottington for your on the spot donation, very much appreciated 🙏

Thank you to Bill & Mark for tackling the Laural Hedge 🪏
