The team met at Omnibus Theatre cafe, where we enjoyed coffee and some rather spectacular croissants - because everyone knows you can't garden on an empty stomach! And we had a LOT of gardening to do. After agreeing our plan of attack, we headed round to the garden where we were greeted by a jungle of weeds. After some debate and a bit of Googling, we agreed which were weeds and which were keepers, and got to work. Amongst the weeds we found signs of carrots and parsnips, which was very exciting! And the potatoes and tomatoes were coming along nicely too. In less than an hour we had transformed the space and restored it to it's full glory, so that our produce could get the light and water it needs...

...But how long until the weeds return??
