🌿☕ What a fantastic day at Rhyddings today! ☕🌿

🌹 In the Kitchen Garden, Fiona, Pip and Ollie have been busy:
🍂 The rose bed has been pruned and mulched
🌱 Beds have been topped up and levelled using old woodchip mulch
♻️ All compost bays have been pushed back and tidied
🍁 Paths swept and more leaves added to beds to protect and enrich the soil

🥪 The café was bustling too, with lots of walkers enjoying lunch alongside many other visitors. In fact, it was an early sell-out! A huge thank you to our fantastic café team, Ann, Teresa and Linda, ably supported by Lewis. 👏☕

🧘‍♀️ Keeping everyone active and feeling good, Jen led Keep Fit, while Bernie hosted both QiGong and Zen Yoga sessions.

💪 And the day isn't over yet! Later on, Lewis will be putting people through their paces with not one but two Circuit Training sessions.

A huge thank you to everyone who volunteered, attended a class, visited the café or simply spent time with us today. Your support helps make Rhyddings such a special place. 💚🌳

🍂 What a lovely day at the Coach House today! 🍂

The morning started with us finishing the Remembrance decorations in the garden, which are looking wonderful. ❤️

We then welcomed Jan Jenkins Fitness for her 1:1 sessions, followed by Yoga with Bernie, who led two uplifting QiGong classes. Meanwhile, plenty of visitors popped in to enjoy a warming hot chocolate and a chat. ☕🍫

We also drew the current RBL Poppy Appeal Raffle today. Check out the video! Thank you to everyone who has supported the Poppy Appeal fundraising at Rhyddings so far. 🌺

🌿 A busy and productive morning in the garden today!

🌱 Fiona, Caroline and Katie were hard at work making great strides around the site. The rhubarb bed was stripped back, with the dead foliage put to good use covering our largest vegetable bed. Mixed with fallen tree leaves and other rotting matter, it will help create rich soil ready for next year's bean tunnel.

🍂 The raspberry bed was cut back and treated to a generous layer of fresh wood chippings to protect and nourish it through the winter, setting it up for strong growth next season.

🌳 Meanwhile, the empty ornamental bed has been completely dug over and prepared for its next chapter, as it begins its transformation into a beautiful evergreen bed.

A huge thank you to Fiona, Caroline and Katie for all their hard work. The garden is already looking ready for winter, while planning ahead for a thriving growing season next year! 💚🌿😊
