A little tlc for some of our hand tools

The project has been very grateful of the funding it has received over the years which has enabled us to purchase a comprehensive range of garden hand tools, power tools and other gardening supplies and we always try to keep them in good condition.


Looking forward to watching these seedling grown by some of our service users develop through the growing season

Helping our wildflowers by thinning out some of the grass on the wildlife friendly banking

Thinning out the different varieties of grass on the wildlife friendly area will help our wildflowers such as ox eye daisy, birds foot trefoil, lady"s mantle, common toad flax, burnet, creeping buttercup and yellow rattle. The yellow rattle is also of great benefit in suppressing grasses as it is semi parasitic feeding on the nutrients on grasses



A good time to be sowing vegetables such as beetroot and carrots
