Sheila helped out at Braywick Heath Nurseries on a differenr day than usual, and met with a whole different group of regular volunteers. I started off by potting up 36 cordyline plants into larger pots, and then moved on to weeding the borders in the outside sales area. I removed all the unsightly tall weeds, and then moved on to pulling out all the nettles ( after changing my gloves to some without holes in the fingers!). Looks much better!

We are a small garden garden centre providing volunteering, work experience and employment for adults with support needs

We run a not-for-profit company, supported by paid staff & community volunteers to provide volunteering, work experience and employment for adults with a wide range of support needs. We are currently having a big clear out across our site, and need help moving all of the material to a skip. This will enable us to better use the space we have to expand our operations and better support our volunteers and staff.

Not on fire, but a bit tingly - pulling nettles whilst wearing shorts is not an ideal combo!
