The sun was shining, making the perfect evening to volunteer at Hackney City Farm for quite a unique experience!

The group of 8, a mix of first timers (huge welcome) and regular faces, were equipped with goggles, hammers and hoes to smash up pottery pieces for drainage in the flower beds. Smashing pottery was surprisingly satisfying and great for stress relief, especially for those who had come straight from work.

With time to spare, the group then grabbed the shovels and wheelbarrows to ferry eucalyptus wood chip across the farm to spread on the ground surrounding the flower beds.
