Hop a long Harry was dumped in the om village a few mths ago. He had a broken leg n was not happy. He found his way to the om garden and we took him in and he rested up. He is now thankfully happy n managing to put weight on the leg.
He is very vocal and a delight to sit and watch.

What I love about the garden is that it pushes you to do things u wouldn't usually do.
Example - St Georges Grammer service hour.
6 girls , a pile of wood chips, 2 wheelbarrows n a bit of umph ! 1 hour later ... my nursery is fully mulched. Hats off ladies to you 👏

Some of the St Georges Grammer students kindly came along to help out on Wednesday afternoon -
Cleared the plot, weeded and turned the soil ready to plant out
the saying goes
Team work makes dream work .. and .. its true!!
