What a fantastic day at Windmill Community Gardens! We made the most of the lovely weather and had 28 volunteers and visitors on site!
The aims for the day were to enjoy the sunshine, finish clearing all the herb beds to get rid of the weeds and the dreaded horse-radish, work with Sarah from Bio Opal to do a survey of Windmill's worm population and the pH of our soil and to enjoy some good food to go with the good company. We even had music supplied by Ray with a little help from Trevor.
We got a huge amount done. Thanks to everyone for their hard work, especially Nature in Mind, Rosco and Michael for doing such great work on the revamped herb beds and the new annual wildflower bed. And we have to applaud the amazing Mo for arriving with a pushchair full of goodies for lunch. Wonderful!

We reckon our friends here from Nature in Mind look like a
rock group in this one. Herbie & the Herbalists maybe? |
