The mission description said that Mrs J needed help tidying her garden, and gardening tools would be provided.

When we arrived it was clear that both front and back gardens needed lots of tlc so Mrs J asked us to work on the front garden.

The problem was, no implements apart from a spade and a garden waste bin!

Johnny set to work on clearing weeds from the driveway and the path to the front door. Sarah pulled up overgrown dead grasses and weeds from a couple of flowerbeds.

Our efforts made a bit of a difference and weed done our best, but felt sad only to have scratched the surface.
