Sunny,dry weather again for our volunteers work session within the school grounds this morning👍🏻
At school around 8.30am ,signed in and headed through school to wildlife area …
First jobs were refilling the bird feeders plus cleaning the benches and tables as usual …
Mrs W arrived around 9.15am…after emptying the tubs of fruit peelings from nursery into the compost bins we gathered tools and garden waste bags and headed off again to work on the planted beds at the front of school 😇😇
Mrs W spent morning working on the large planted bed …where she was continuing to wed and remove lots of ivy …will try to remember to bring some shrubs from home for this bed plus some colourful spring bedding plants for the 2 planted pots, by the school reception door, next week….
Meanwhile I finished removing brambles and litter from the planted bed by the staffroom window then tidied and pruned the 2 wooden planters by the vehicle entry gate …also removed litter plus brambles and pruned back a clump of ornamental grasses on the planted bed by the front fence and finished by watering the 5 planters and pots …need to strim grass around shrubs on this bed ASAP !
We gathered tools and our bagged green waste and headed back to the wildlife area around 11am …stopping on the way to prune back some buddleijas by the nursery wall.
Back in the wildlife area we enjoyed our well earned hot drinks and biscuits in the sunshine before packing tools away and heading back to our homes👍🏻
