Wednesday 27 May 2009

Team: Dorothy, Harry, Peter, Carolyn, plus a group of 6 from the Unpaid Work Unit (Probation Service) and Mike from Manchester City Council who delivered the plants

Weather: Rain at first but then dried up, although still cloudy and not very warm

What we did: Working in the area around the car park at the back of church, the guys from the UWU cleared the weeds and dug over the areas at the top of the walls. We then planted the new plants (over 300) in all four beds.

One of the guys from the UWU was also strimming the weeds around the graves in the lower part of section C where we have recently been working.

The whole area looks really good now and will look even better when the flowers have had chance to establish and bloom.

There are some photographs here:
