We were invited back for a 3rd year running to help out at the annual fundraising plant swap + sale for Friends of Whirlowbrook Park, and it was certainly the weather for a morning outside ๐.
We helped with set up, assisting people to cars with their purchases, recruiting donors and take down at the end. Not only was a lovely time had by all, over ยฃ900 was raised towards a new orchard area! ๐ณ๐๐ณ๐๐ณ๐๐ณ
