Garden update
catherine September 26th, 2009
Things are moving ahead very slowly in the garden, but they are moving ahead!
- Our grant from the G&H Roberts Community Trust, has enabled us to buy some quality topsoil for our raised vegetable beds. Nine builders bags full have arrived, and we are just waiting the arrival of some of the raised beds which are expected shortly.
- Our grant of £350, from Edinburgh Rotary Club is going towards mushroom seats for the garden. These were chosen by Mrs Macmanus’s P1 class last year and they are now on order; they include five mushroom seats of varying sizes, and as a bonus, a wooden owl, and a wooden hedgehog, all to go in wildlife border.
Please see the St Mary’s Thanks… page for details of the ways in which many people have been very generous with donations of their time, funds and materials.
What next? Well, our wheelbarrow was stolen during the holidays, and we just await the arrival of a new one so we can barrow the topsoil into the new raised beds. Soon a skip will arrive and the next job is to clear the rubble from the second area.
