Thank you to all who helped at today's #HydeAbbeyGarden work party. The Garden looks very good in parts but the weeds seem to grow quicker than we can move them so we'll be back on 6 December to try to get everything under control!

Huge thanks to everyone who helped in Hyde Abbey Garden on Saturday! 🌿
It’s amazing how fast weeds grow but with the help of our new volunteers, we cleared lots of moss and weeds, & added violets - thank you all!
