I arrived at the SHP allotment to find the clients and helpers busy unpacking tools and the garden table from the shed. Once the table was set up Lorena, the task owner, called a meeting to discuss plans for future weeks and a list of tasks was drawn up, there is also going to be another visit to Kew Gardens to which I was pleased to be invited.

Meeting over and to do list transferred to the wipe board we all set about planting some primulas. It’s very interesting talking to the clients, learning their stories and sharing our skills.
