No suitable photos this week - due to camera shake - unless one of the other volunteers sends me one!
Eight volunteers turned out to Styal, met up with the head gardener on his day off and were set a task clearing up an area which he plans to develop as a picnic area.
This involved clearing three piles of assorted prunings and dead wood, digging out tree roots, and re stacking the debris beside the drive so that it could be easily removed during the following weeks. Wildlife seen including a mouse, a rabbit and a robin.
We had sunshine and showers with it getting heavier towards the end of the day - which we finished with a guided tour of the garden - stopping to admire a variety of Magnolias, Rhododendrons, camellias, and bulbs including dogs tooth violet and tulip.
