Theo & Petra met Julie on a sunny Sunday for our usual monthly visit at Hogsmill. In full bloom, it was a feast for the eyes. As usual, we tacked hedges but this time, with nicely sharpened sheers which made all the difference. See you next time.

Amy and Petra met Brian on sunny Sunday to help with paining a wooden flowerbed. Moving it from under very wet plastic sheet into the sun - that was the heavy lifting done. We then sanded it down and painted it whilst catching some sunshine. Stopped for cup of tea and a biscuit that Brian kindly provided. See you in April.

Back to Hogsmill after a short winter break and straight to the usual task- armed with new battery, Kieron tackled the hedge cutting using an electric strimmer with Petra using manual cutters for the hard to get bits by the fence. In the meantime, Farzeen and Emily levelled a patch of dirt where we moved the kids sandpit. As usual, all under the close supervision of the ever so lovely Brian! See you in March.

This Sunday morning was dedicated to cutting the luscious green grass! A bit of challenge with the grass being wet but we were not to be defeated. Easier to do without the collecting basket, raked the grass after and added onto the compost. Job done. See you in Nov!

Theodore and Petra met Brian at Hogsmill to attend to the ever growing hedges along the perimeter of the garden. Hedge cutters on borrowed battery time, shears that have seen better days but GG grit and enthusiasm is not to be defeated. Brian told us all about their open day on Saturday which went well and I am happy that we play small but regular part in keeping this piece of Kingston gem going. See you in October.

Sandra & Petra met up at Hogsmill Garden for our usual monthly task. With all the rain, the hedges were in a need of a trim. Despite intense overnight charging of hedge trimmer batteries from Brian, it didn't work. We have resorted to good old fashioned hand tools to level out the hedge with the fence (well done Sandra for braving the ladder) at the top & on the sides. Left the garden nice and neat just in time for a special birthday celebrations taking place. See in you August.
