The changes to the WESC garden have been amazing throughout this summer and thanks goes to a group of Prince's Trust volunteers who chose WESC for their community project and really got stuck in.
They took on the challenge of making a tree circle for picnicing and started by measuring the diameter around the three trees and marking out the circle. They took up the grass just around the edge, mowed the remaining grass and weeded around the base of the trees.
The group then covered the remaining grass with cardboard which will gradually decompose, and covered the circle with bark chippings. They then tackled the job of making up the picnic benches and treating them with a wood preserve.
The final result looks amazing- a great place to enjoy a picnic! Thank you
They then took on the task of painting the established vegetable boxes ready for planting.
During this time the group had also organised a fundraising event raising a substantial amount of money to go towards plants for the garden. Again, a huge thank you from us.
It doesn't stop there though as they went away and designed and produced postcards based on their time spent at WESC which will now be sold in the WESC charity shops with all monies going back into the garden.
Fantastic!
