Our volunteers did a fantastic job planting up in the Rain Garden as you can see in the photos.🥰
We can’t wait for these plant to establish! 😃

We were extremely delighted and when Kirsty from @EvolutionMoney told us we were to receive a £750 donation! 🥳
Huge thanks to Kirsty for putting us forward and to Evolution Money Ltd for their recognition of what our group does.🥰

The Large Circular Bed was planted in 2016.
It takes a lot of effort from our volunteers to maintain it due to the size and weeding which is never ending.😅
At this time of year the bed is looking beautiful 😊

This time of year is the best time to see the Handkerchief Tree (Davidia involucrata) in bloom. 😊
Our volunteers enjoyed sitting under it enjoying a drink from the Pavilion cafe after the gardening session.🥰
