🌱 Garden Update 🌱
It was a lovely day in the garden today – even if we had to dodge a few showers!
We were delighted to welcome Lindsay, who joined us for the first time. Much of the morning was spent tidying and preparing our new beds, ready for planting. The lovely Wendy proudly showed off her new gardening apron, while Alicia has been busy laying the floor in our brand-new Summer House.
If you’d like to get involved, we’d love to see you!
🪴 We meet every Thursday morning, 10am–12pm
🪴 No experience needed – just bring your creativity and ideas

🌸✨ Such a wonderful morning with our Riverside Roots Women’s Gardening Group! ✨🌸

We started with tea, chatter, and Wendy’s homemade scones & sponge cake (with cream + jam of course! 🍰☕). Then it was all hands on deck—sharing ideas, tidying, and adding a splash of fresh paint to the garden. 🌿🎨

💚 We’d love for you to join us!
