Thanks to the volunteers who attended in April. We cleared and tidied up a lot of overgrown areas which will hopefully benefit from our work over the coming months.
We don’t have a working session in May but instead we are having our plant sale on Saturday 20th starting at 9.30am. Please tell friends, neighbours and family as we want to sell as much as possible to raise funds.
There will be a selection of bedding plants, perennials and vegetables for sale – some of the perennials have been grown from cuttings from plants in The Hollies. We’re also running a cake stall serving hot drinks and home made cakes.
Please note that the sale is cash only.
Future dates:
Saturday 10th June 10am
July and August – summer break so no meetings
Saturday 9th September 10am
Unfortunately we had to cancel our March session due to adverse weather conditions. Safety of our volunteers is paramount and because of heavy snow and ice it was considered too risky to proceed. Apologies to anyone who turned up having not received notice of the cancellation.
Our next meet has been changed from 8th April to Saturday 22nd April meeting at 10am in the car park. This is due to the original date being the Easter weekend when most of our organisers are away.

Future dates are as follows:
Saturday 20th May which is our annual plant sale at 9.30am (on the third Saturday)
