Samina, Tabitha and Pete met at Beer n Burger and jogged about 3km to the Abbey Community Centre where Jason told them what needed to be done in the garden. We met Beatriz there and Lee arrived soon after. The garden is lovely with great beds, a greenhouse and loads of pots around the edges. Pete and Beatriz were watering with hosepipe and watering cans.,later joined by Samina. Lee Tabitha and Samina were weeding. It was a nice evening and lots got done. We walked back and had a nice drink at Beer n Burger (and Lee had chips, naturally). Great job!

Samina, Tabitha, Chris, Pete and Christian joined Jack at Corsham Sheltered Housing in Wembley to distribute soil into the raised beds to get them ready for planting in May. Much time was spent shovelling soil into wheelbarrows then taking them up to the raised beds and tipping the soil in. We welcomed Christian for the first time who came all the way from Kingston and did a great job. At the end we put the tools away. The beds are looking much better now. Well done everyone.

On a beautiful Saturday I walked over to meet Natalia outside the property and in we went. We met Miss J and she showed us the jobs at hand, which were clearing the weeds from the sides of the path, between the pave stones, and in the flower bed. There was also a trampoline in the back of the garden which had been taken over by brambles, which Natalia did an amazing job of tackling! We forgot to get the before shot but she cleared a big area in front of the trampoline so that in the future the brambles in the trampoline could be tackled. We ploughed through the jobs in an hour and a half and managed to completely fill the green bin! Miss J was really grateful and we left feeling like it was a job well done.
