It was a wet and windy day for our community mission to fill flowerbeds ready for planting in the new sensory garden at Sprowston Library.

With the wrong address on the mission details (sorry guys!), by the time we got started the rain had really set in but it did not deter us from the task so we wrapped up warm and persevered.

The manager didn’t seem to think the job would take long but we arrived to find 4 tonnes of soil waiting for us. With only 2 wheelbarrows, there was a bit of standing around so Sandra and Jason set their own missions to source another one from the neighbours. Obviously Sandra was asking the wrong people but Jason came back victorious and the job was able to move much more swiftly.

After about an hour, all four new beds were filled (and raked by mini-GoodGymmer Evvy) and Helen had also filled 3 small tubs for planting. Teas and biscuits were a welcome treat, even if we were all absolutely filthy.

Thanks to Mel for the photos and a big thanks to all of you who came today. The library really appreciates it.
