The Friends of Bramhall had successfully planted the 8,000 crocus bulbs so our mission shifted from Hocus Crocus to Balsam Bashing!
And boy did we bash it!
Himalayan Balsam is a weed that grows and spreads extremely rapidly, and while they produce a wonderful vibrant pink flower (and a fun to snap seed) they the bane of the Bramhall gardeners' life! So we learnt ...every day is a school day!
So, how else do you fill a soggy Saturday morning than bashing balsam?
We pulled, we snapped and we slid ... alot!
The weather may have be miserable but our spirits were high!

This occasion is an opportunity to raise awareness of the hospice and the vital support it provides to children and young people with life-shortening or life-threatening conditions, and their families.
