Todays task was to weed two residents overgrown gardens and we were lucky to have the weather on our side again. Emily & Jana got quick to work and cleared the first garden in good time. We managed to fill a huge bag with the weeds! A kind resident offered us a thirst quenching cuppa and a chat. We then started on the second garden which was so overgrown there was no soil to be seen! Emily, Jana and Saber got to work removing the deep rooted weeds and cutting back Holly branches. We were accompanied by the resident of the garden who helped direct us and share a little about his life. We also had a friendly Robin by our side and a mouse! Before we knew it our time was up and we cleared the whole of the second garden. The resident was very pleased he could see the soil again! Emily & Saber dragged the very large bag of weeds to the front of the flats and we waved goodbye to the residents hoping to see them again next month.
