Green Scene: Thank you so much to those who joined us for last weekend’s Green Scene volunteer session!

We did some weeding, topped up around the tree in Bracelet yard, decorated milk planters and planted some flowers in them for Oxwich & Caswell yard, watered the bamboo in Pobbles yard, found caterpillars, cocoons and worms, repotted the Christmas tree and ate the most delicious cookies! 

We also practiced our wheelbarrow skills! Top work, Kai, Mark, Mari, Dillon and Bethany. We also found a buried egg in Oxwich & Caswell yard which we think might have been a fox. The veg in Oxwich & Caswell yard is also doing great and we’ve spotted our first turnip. 

Our next session will be on Sunday March 16th from 10-12:30pm and we’d love to see as many of there as possible.
