The play area has been open for a few weeks now, and the amazing gardening group from Crawshawbooth Primary School helped us with the finishing touches today. The children popped in hundreds of plug plants that will bloom over the summer. The weather was really wet and soggy, but they stayed until every plant was in. They did a really wonderful job, and we couldn’t have got it done without their help. Thank you! πΊπβ
