Thirsty Work!

From the Sheffield Star on Monday 6th August:

“Volunteers have done their bit to spruce up one of Sheffields most popular parks and had their hard work rewarded with free drinks at the local pub. Friends of Millhouses Park gave up hours of their time to weed, dig and tidy up shrubbery in a bid to prepare it for the busy school holiday period. Nearby pub The Waggon and Horses then welcomed the green fingered group inside and replenished their energy with free drinks.”

Beauchief Gardens Weeding Event

Working in conjunction with our Park Keeper Andy Varley, who also looks after Beauchief Gardens where we have had a long standing gardening role, we had our most recent working day last week. Nick Clegg and Family joined us and have to say stayed over 90 minutes and cleared quite a big area of rockery.

Pete Stow is co-ordinating our environmental work in Beauchief Gardens and will be announcing our future dates up there soon.
