It was my first time visiting the lovely team at The Garden Classroom at Newington Green, but got a friendly welcome and met the amazing regular volunteers.

Using a spade and wheelbarrow, I shifted a big pile of mulch to spread out in “doughnuts” under some of the woody plants in one of the flowerbeds. This was to give the plants some extra nutrition and some protection against any upcoming frosts.

Once the pile was cleared and the plants all mulched, it was time to head back home!
