July 2023 - Work Party

 

Looking towards the glade.

Only a few volunteers were able to attend this month so while we would usually have cut the plum bed, we just gave the paths a well needed mow and strim to keep them accessible. The debris was raked off and added to the compost heaps. 

We also had a quick garage meeting, to shelter from the rain, about a new bench to be installed in the woodland. More about that in the future.

Redcurrants 



We were unable to have a work party in August due to a combination of poor weather and holidays but when the neighbouring churchyard maintenance was done they managed to get into the woodland too. Mostly because the same volunteers tend to belong to  different groups in the village, I was delighted to find the plum bed done!

There has also been a selection of plant sale and woodland photos attached to the noticeboard by Richard if anyone is interested. 

It's beginning to feel a lot more autumnal although still green in the woodland, probably because it hasn't stopped raining long enough for it to dry up.
