We were happy to be back on the farm in the sunshine this morning helping them to embark on their new project of building a maze out of raised planters.

The farm has received funding to build the maze to help encourage community volunteering and more people to engage in nature.

Tom was discussing with us how the plan is to have the planters acting as a food bank of vegetables for people to come and take whilst educating people about plants and how to use them.

Steph and I were employed as the muscle again to begin with, shifting the heavy planks of wood over to the maze site. Mini goodgymer helped Tom carry the stakes. Halfway through mini goodgymer and I swapped with a member of the public who was also volunteering to water all the plants whilst Steph continued helping assembling the wood to make the raised planters.

It was exceptionally hot so half way through the session Tom treated us to cake and tea!

Well refreshed we got back to work with Steph helping finish off the planters and mini goodgymer and I helping lay cardboard in the planters and put away some ground sheets.

It was a really good and interesting session and we look forward to seeing how the maze takes shape over the coming weeks.
