We were back at Ujala this evening on our mini project of revamping their garden space back into a usable space for the members to use.
It was great to have a big team on tonight with Jenni and Emily joining us from Ealing - great to see you ladies. Sandy, Jean and Peter were on their first visit to Ujala whereas Sutyee, Pam and I are now veterans!
With a weather warning in place and the rain starting to come down fast we wanted to just crack on with the task so we bypassed the 'running to' bit and got on with the 'task bit', though Jean and I did go for a km run after the task...
We clove this task a lot
So the brief for tonight's task was to dig up all the beds of any garlic! So that's exactly what we did! Jean, Sandy, Pam, Peter and Jenni had no issues with the vampires tonight with the amount of garlic they managed to dig out.
Sut and Emily unfounded a new path to the side part of the garden, which unearthed a few horrors...in particular a scary looking doll!
With so many hands on deck we managed another great 'before' and 'after' photoshoot. With the rain now coming down even faster we called it a night but only after spending 10 minutes trying to perfect the perfect
Next week we will be focusing on the front garden and turning over all the beds
BBO Wildlife Trust is running a one year long project in Slough, helping local Communities engage with nature and wildlife, by supporting them in improving their communal outdoor spaces. Ujala has agreed to participate to this exciting project. There is a lovely space at the back that needs clearing before we can start planting and creating a nature friendly space that people can benefit from.
