Natasha, Victoria and I joined Damien and Will from the Arc Centre for a few hours of soul lifting and shifting to prepare a set of wooden planters in a children's playground near Arlington Square. The plan is to fill the planters with old soil, new soil and fresh water, ready for planting plants, bushes and flowers arriving next week.

After a short coffee break provided by the Arc coffee hub (which has grown incredibly since our last task!), we filled up a collection of jerry cans full of water and soaked some newly planted rose bushes just near Packington Street, before returning our wheelbarrows and tools back to the centre.

Wonderful work everyone! We will be back tomorrow, and on Monday evening!
