First session of bike repair workshop at GTL with Bee Pedal Ready .

Participants learnt about different parts of a bike. The session was really fun. Participants divided in groups identifying the part as a team. Every group did a great job of getting them all correct.

Last Friday it was a lovely day at the garden. We had a wonderful weather and a lovely atmosphere.

We had gentle garden activities led by our two volunteers that involved gathering all the dried-out calendula flowers that we hung around the garden, plucked their leaves gently and put them in brown bags. These would enable us make a special body lotion.

We had another team of able bodied participants led by two other volunteers that helped out with trimming the hedges at the sitting area beside our meeting point. We trimmed the wild hedges of raspberries growing behind the big polytunnel thereby reducing the risk of hazards and creating more space.

We also had some participants that enjoyed watering activities in the big and small polytunnel and a little bit around the garden.

Singing has been one of the activities that our members said they enjoy so much because they can sign together any song.

In our community we all are together.

Singing workshop at the garden.

Before the big event, singing around the fire, we had a couple singing workshops where members shared their country songs and sang together.

Our singing facilitator is trying to learn and sing an Indian song.
