Wildlife Garden Project - August 2006



Last night a few of us met in the wildlife garden to give it a general tidy up. We dug in the edges of the pond, did a litter pick, cut back some of the undergrowth around the compost bin and cleaned some graffiti off the noticeboard. Unfortunately we couldn't fill up the pond but we plan to go back one lunchtime next week to do this. The garden looks great at the moment, really green and wild.

Here's a photo of some of our keen gardening team (l-r - Lisa, Alex & Craig). Judy and Jon were along as well but ran away as soon as I got my camera out.

We have lots of tasks to do in the autumn when semester starts, including working on the woodland area and some of the raised beds. Watch this space for more info.
