A hot, yet productive session in the woods yesterday preparing for the summer fete. Grass cut, w**d clearance, litter picking undertaken and keep8ng on top of the small knotw**d shoots which pop up every now and again.

Session finished with tea in the community garden.

A misty start to our Thursday session, but much completed. Grass cut, including some of the path up to Victoria Avenue. Nettle and bramble clearance and further groundwork between the rockery and the pond. And more perennials planted in the community garden.

Session ended with tea and cake before the rain came, though the plants will be grateful for it.

A wet session in the woods yesterday but that didn’t stop us from getting a lot completed.

Grass cut, footpath clearance undertaken and some w**ding on the flower bed bank.

We’d had a few plants donated and these have been planted on the flower bed bank and in the rockery.

Session finished early due to rain but we still managed tea and biscuits.
