Forest Community Shed

January's site volunteer day pics, sorry for the delay!
A great turnout, we put up some much-needed absent drainpipe over the door, to stop the cold drips down our necks and make the ground a bit safer, as we had an ice rink by the door.
Some great time with Orchard Trust clients, fixing the waterwall deccies they had made previously, and the sensory boards fixed outside the sensory garden.
We cleaned and sharpened the site gardening tools and trimmed and tied up the pergola vines.
