Anna, Laura and Sheila helped out at Braywick Heath Nursery. Our first was a logistical one, transferring the plants on display in spacer trays, freeing up the black trays which can be given to customers to take their plants home in. In the course of doing this, Anna found some argyranthemum which were getting quite straggly do she tepotted them and gave them some pea stick supports. We then moved onto some outside work, digging up shrubs which were invading the flower beds from the hedge. This definitely put the 'gym' into Goodgym, and proved to be very hard work, trying to get the mass of roots out of the ground. Laura managed to disturb an ants' nest, and a couple managed to make their way up her leg and give her a nip. Ouch!
