Three GGers made it along to Emily (pictured middle) from St Margarets House's social gardening club, joining a handful of others who turned up to volunteer. She started with an interesting history lesson of the renovation that's taken place there over the last few years and how the garden has been designed and built, including detail such as the different shades of green of the shrubs, carefully with those recovering from trauma in mind. So it was for this good cause that we went along to help out. Frankie put in a true shift around the decking area while John and Sam chipped in with the leaf sweeping and working on the compost. Next social gardening club is Thursday 16th October 4-7pm so please come along!
