Kate and Helen made their way to St John's Court to help the residents with their garden. Armed with a few small garden implements we were tasked with digging up weeds from a flower bed.

It looked like an easy task, but Kate kept getting her hair caught in the thorns above and Helen could barely get the fork into the ground as it was so hard.

Tackling the thorny bushes above, we cleared them out of the way and most of the weeds in the bed ready for planting.
We look forward to going back again next month to help the residents.
