This evening the task was split between two sites. Eliie, Chris, Finn and Wilson finished a few jobs at the planters, starting with a quick litter pick and then cutting back bigger stems and pulling out more of the wild garlic bulbs.

Sarah and Helen went with Holly to the little orchard at the end of the road. This is an area that was popular with fly tipping and Holly a member of the local resident association asked the council if they could adopt it as part of the wilder scheme. It is now a lovely small green space and we were on hand to give it a good weeding and a dig over.

And why the title??? Lovely Helen ran to the task and got stung by a bee on the way..... and a large fluffy bumble bee was buzzing about the orchard whilst we were trying to weed, and Wilson also unexpectedly but proudly got to wear a 350 good deed cape.... can you beeelieve it!
