Terry's Photographs.
Alison's Editorial.
This week we were at a new venue - the Mountbatten Hospice in Newport. This session was funded by Mark in memory of his dear Mum, as were the refreshments at breaktime - thank you, Mark. We had a number of tasks to complete. Along the entrance road there is a grassy bank which earlier in the season is full of wildflowers. This had been mown and in order to weaken the grass growth and encourage the flowers we raked off the mown grass. Overgrown brambles were cut back from the perimeter of the car park and the car park swept and tidied. There is a children's play area and again, brambles and ivy were cut back from the fence so that they don't encroach on the area. Finally, a courtyard area that is used primarily by the staff was weeded, swept and tidied. A great session and a lot was accomplished.
The main public area in the garden had been at the Chelsea Flower Show in 2015 - see link
Next week is at ANOTHER new venue - St Olave's Church in Gatcombe.
Many thanks to Alison for the words and to Terry for his photographs.
