We'd like to thank our regular friends who stepped out into the stern rain - see photo - to meet us in Didsbury Park as part of the Festival. Lovely to see you all and good to meet new faces. Thank you too to those interested in speaking about joining us as a volunteer. We hope to see you in future and make you welcome.

Yesterday volunteers discussed recent work - laying a camomile lawn in the Herb Garden along with planting thyme. The Mediterranean Garden was rumoured to be looking good - as it was again raining I didn't go see. The bananas and pineapples were seen to be snug and thriving. In other words - a wide range of opportunities for volunteers here.
