We were thrilled to arrive for our gardening session and discover that Iain Boulton had been working with volunteers from Lloyds Bank who had done some major weeding. Big thanks to them! Everything looks great and is coming on a treat. Blackbirds permitting, we’ll have a bumper crop of blackcurrants and gooseberries this year.

Throughout the morning we planted beans and squash and thinned seedling we planted in the raised beds earlier in the year.

After finishing at The Spinney we headed over to tidy round the beds at the Bandstand and planted tomatoes. Then it was time for a group photo…

This was followed by a well-deserved tea break when we discussed our plans for the clean-up morning at the Green Waste Depot and our community picnic on 27 June. More details to follow.
