This week we made our way to the one and only Bevy - a community pub owned and run by locals for the locals. We were warmly greeted by Dave, Warren and Sheila along with two hippo bags and a variety of gardening tools!

Dave had let the bank go wild this summer to concentrate on other parts of the garden, but wanted to clear it to make way for new planting in a few weeks time. Carla and Rebecca were already hard at it when the rest of us turned up and so we quickly got stuck in!

Ensuring we saved the roses and primroses, we pulled EVERYTHING else out which were covered spiders and snails! Michael was ready with the hippo bags as we threw the pulled up plants down onto him(!) There was also a huge amount of table tennis balls, a result of the new table the pub had put up this summer.

With everything cleared, and the light failing us, we jogged back towards central Brighton with the promise from Dave that we can come back for planting!
