Our site in Clissold Park took some serious steps forward today. When LRS Consultancy got in touch to ask if we could host their team building day, Pip and I jumped at the opportunity to get going on building the outside beds.
This is how it looked when they arrived at 10am.
There were some raised eye-brows when I explained the day’s task: 2 beds to be built from scratch…were we asking too much? But who’s to question the collective power of 15 able-bodied volunteers…we cleared, leveled, measured, staked, sieved soil, double dug, laid card, filled the beds, sowed the seed and hooped and netted…
Every tool in the shed was put to work…here they stand, waiting while everyone nipped out for a quick lunch at Fat Cat Cafe down the road…
And here, at 4pm, is the result of a fine day’s work…
It never ceases to amaze me just how much a group of people can get done in a day. Big thanks to everyone at LRS…you can be very proud!
