Text from Daniel who organised the day - photos from various cameras
Six of us went to Biddulph in Staffordshire today to work in James Bateman's 19th century garden. It was a different workday to our normal Sundays in several respects:
1. we spent the day weeding flowerbeds and edging the lawns outside the visitors' entrance (more delicate work than usual!)
2. Daniel got to drive the 4x4 all-terrain vehicle
3. we had our tea breaks and lunch in the gardeners' hut, and
4. we ended the day with clotted cream teas in the tearoom
Despite the wet weather we had a great time in lovely surroundings and aim to repeat the visit later in the year, possibly for a joint workday with the Wolverhampton NT group.
