We have been very bad at taking photos in the garden the last few weeks!

But here is one of us from last week when we replaced one of our old raised beds with some new barrels.

Winter if often the time that we are doing the hardest work, shovelling and wheelbarrowing soil around. It keeps us warm anyway! 🏋‍♀

🌳We had a great time last weekend planting trees which we received from The Woodland Trust

🐦Another 120 saplings planted at to add to the biodiversity on the site, which will attract birds, insects and small mammals and provide lots of different habitats.

❄ The pond provided some cool ice shapes to play with as well.

🥁We were lucky to have our wonderful friend Cloud who brought up his instruments and everyone had a go, including the youngest visitor.
