What a lovely evening for this week's task!!!
Charlotte, Tony and Julia met in the churchyard and after initial faffing with getting the keys Julia opened up the storage room to get the tools and summer bulbs.
We were planting these alongside a fence by the road so that the flowers can provide a splash of colours for passers by in the future.
Soon after Saj and Ray arrived and also got stuck in with the planting.
After half an hour we moved onto the second (improvised) task of clearing the Greem Alkanet which whilst looks pretty can really take over the land! This was a very satisfying task and Ray really got into his raking with great clearing results!
Well done to everyone for coming along - great social banter as usual!

A place to bring local communities together and improve natural environment for wildlife
Since November 2019, we have been in rebuild mode. We were blessed to receive a large grant from the National Lottery Heritage Fund of money raised from National Lottery players right across the country. This will help renovate and reorder our church building as part of our major five-year activity plan. When the dust settles we are not going to slow down: our church will become a busy centre for community arts, community gardening, community cooking, and community history. Whoever you are and whatever your story is, you will find a place with us in our corner of Epping Forest.
