Garden Update

Works has continued over the weekend to prepare the site. The concrete base for the old bus shelter proved too tough for the volunteers (see below) and the machine we hired, so we will have another go soon.

 

Steve Marshall and Steve White dig out the concrete

We expect the delivery this week of the limestone aggregate that will provide the base for the paved area. Meanwhile the timber for the raised planters has ben delivered cut, and is being experimented with as to the best methods of assembly and delivery to site.

Volunteers this week have included John Bettridge, Richard Parkin, Jenny Harris, June Whittaker, Mark Jubb, Steve Marshall, Steve White, Andrew Dunn and Sean Jones (project manager). With thanks again to the Brunswick Nursery for the loan of the wagon and Amanda for the sandwiches.

New Sponsor

We are pleased to announce that Stoneplan Landscape Construction has agreed to lay the paved area once the site has been fully prepared at no direct cost, for which many thanks.
