Little Wymondley Gardeners make a start

by

A few members of the volunteer group made a start on the central island in Little Wymondley in March 2023.  Armed with road safety signs, cones, high vis jackets and a variety of tools, they tidied up the area.  We have one more area to do in the near future in terms of weeding and then we will be planning the possible ways that we can bring colour and pollinators to the heart of the village.  Special thanks to James from the Bucks Head who loaned his hedge trimmers and James the resident who made us tea.
