Wow, what a scorcher!
10 of us met up at the Haven to help reclaim some overgrown space in order that it could be used for a kitchen garden. Ultimately the plan is to have a 'roof on legs' and to use the space to cook their homegrown food together and enjoy it together al fresco looking out at the sunset, picking fresh herbs that will grow alongside.
But enough of my waxing lyrical, first there were brambles to clear! Everyone pitched in with shears, loppers; Tom and new guy Kieran (feel like I know him from somewhere) even got stuck in with a pick and mattock.
Some of the roots were extremely stubborn as Sara is demonstrating in the photos so it was really impressive to see the space almost entirely cleared by the end, we even managed to keep the blue water pipe intact!
Sadly in attempting to get a good idea of the scale of our accomplishment I staged the group photo 2 or 3 miles away, but I've left it in to show how productive we were.
Thanks to Jason for the pun (see - we managed ok didn't we 😁?) and apologies to anyone under 40 who has no idea what it means.
Welcome back to Steve today and thanks to Jenny for helping him to find us - the Haven is certainly a hidden gem!
