It was great to welcome Akaal to her first task. Meeting Adam and I at the Spencer Denney Centre, Akaal's arrival made us a small but perfectly formed team.

First job was sweeping up the leaves out the front and tidying the pots. Adam and Akaal swept the leaves into crates and I carried the crates round to empty them into the compost.

We then moved some troughs and plants round to the back and then spent time tidying and topping up a range of pots and troughs and planting some spring bulbs. We then swapped some of the troughs and pots from the back to the front of the building.

Just as we were finishing up we spotted two more pots that needed a revamp and managed to squeeze in a compost top up and squeezed in a few more spring bulbs.

Time for a quick group photo and a quick farewell.
