21ST April  2023 – Welcome to our blog post No.144

This is me signing off for a while – it’s the busy time with the plants so the blog will be on hold for a while.

Fun in the sun yesterday at the Hemel Food Garden mud kitchen next to the café for Lorenzo & Alice.

The outside contract team were over at Brakespeare school. Super edging by Sean and first timers – Ryan & Josephs.

Sean mowing at Chipperfield allotments – very proud of the straight lines he achieved.

 

Summer bedding plants, troughs and hanging baskets all potted up and settling in nicely. This sunny weather gets them off to a great start.

Over at Berkhamsted School the team were tackling the sycamore seedlings.

A new bakery floor was laid this week – beautiful.
