Biddulph Grange 29 March 09

We were warmly welcomed by the head gardener at Biddulph, and after a precautionary boot disinfection (to avoid the spread of fungal diseases) set to work clearing Rhodadendron and planting sapplings of - yew, holly and a small desciduous tree - who's name I've forgotten.

We didn't get all the planting done in time so a percentage of the plants were "healed in" to keep them alive till the regular staff / volunteers could finish the job. We briefly met the gardener's family, disinfected the tools and our boots before returning to Manchester
