It is not all about gardening - there are plenty of maintenance jobs to do like maintaining the walls and the noticeboards.

Thanks to @neighbourly.bsky.social. They don't seem to be posting - but they have just arranged a donation to us from B&Q of 30 bags of compost. Respect!

Not much else is in flower at the moment - apart from the Daphne which is in the perennial bed by the Makers Shed. www.rhs.org.uk/plants/daphn...

There were only four of us today who were working in the Walled Garden. Not that surprising as it was so cold. Even our plastic duck has succumbed to the weather and seems to have hit an iceberg in the fountain.

Thanks to everyone who said such nice things about the wreath making event, to Jo Veal for managing the activity and to all of our volunteers for making it possible.

Fallen eucalyptus tree
