We first started helping at this community garden in the depths of winter so it's been lovely to see everything progressing as the days get warmer. In today's spring sunshine we set to work weeding the herb bed so that the sage, chives, lemon balm, mint and rosemary can flourish. After that it was time for some watering and, finally, to pick some herbs to bring home. It was good to see Amina again and kudos to Jade for making this her third task of the day!

A quick pit stop to lend a helping hand to the Dons Local Action Group furniture hub. We tackled the onslaught of leaves and weeds, leaving the space looking spick and span. As a reward for our hard work, we were treated to a delicious flapjack snack; the perfect fuel for our next mission!

Our first task at this vibrant community hub.They are in the process of revamping their outdoor space and our help was needed to strip the trees of suffocating ivy, followed by weeding along one of the paths. It was great to meet new member Amina who arrived early and initially got roped into a completely different task! This was with the wonderful FoodCycle group who prepare a free hot meal here that anyone can enjoy. Host Sandra told us there are plenty more things we can help with at the centre, indoors and out, so we will be back.
