What a difference to our last litter pick in Denton Gardens! We really struggled to fill our bags this time. Everyone enjoyed seeing how well tended the gardens are now - thank you for all that you do. ![]()
PS we did manage to pick up a bit more on the seafront so feel if was time well spent.
A happy morning pulling weeds and tidying borders. Great coffee and tea from fabulous Coast. Brilliant sunshine. Jolly people. 😀

On Wednesday in glorious sunshine we planted two fruit trees and grass seeded beneath them. The longer term plan is to do the same with the other four lower beds, creating a sheltered circle of flowering trees for everyone to enjoy. ![]()

Another wet morning for the gardeners. 🌧️![]()

However, wild flower seeds 🌸🌺🌼were sown in the old pond area (please walk round the bed and not through it!); the old wisteria is being pruned and re-positioned on the wall and the ancient shrubs are being removed in preparation for new planting in the upper beds. All this will take some time and lots of elbow grease! 💪💪💪![]()

Grateful thanks as usual to wonderful Coast for warm drinks.
A rare damp Wednesday for our gardening today. 🌦️. We planted 10 agapanthus (agapanthi?) in the beds by the main gate. These were bought with some of the £300+ raised by our sponsored swimmer and donations online. Many, many thanks to everyone who has donated. Every penny raised will be put to very good use in the Gardens.![]()

Coffee and tea, as usual, by courtesy of our friends in Coast. 🙏🤩![]()
