I am tired. My arms ache. But I do have a huge smile on my face! We have completed our first day up the town where we are aiming to plant new life into the old flower planters in the shopping centre car park.
There are 17 windows with planters in them. Today we wanted to take out the old soil and put in fresh soil. We managed to empty and then fill up 13 of these today.
A huge effort was made by all 11 who turned up from 10am. We didn't finish until gone 3pm!!! Lots of digging heavy soil and wheelbarrowing was involved but it will all be worth it when we come to start planting them up next month. Plus these planters will be seen on the Olympic cycle route later on this year.
We then had a competition to see what the most unusual object we could find in the soil. The winner found a bone....!
A massive thank you to all that helped out especially as it's your day off and we had such a busy day yesterday. Volunteering does make a difference and we are out to prove it!
