One of the joys of being a member of the U3A Garden Team group is seeing how much work several people can carry out in your garden over 90 minutes! It was quite a warm day on 1 December when three of us gathered in Jane's garden and quickly a pile of weeds appeared on the path and disappeared in the direction of the compost heap. There were apologies from four members who couldn't make it, which was probably a good thing as I'm not sure there was enough weeding/pruning work in deep shade for everyone! Sadly they missed out on the Christmas inspired afternoon tea, with homemade mince pies and shortbread and fresh local cherries - a cuppa and a chat is a lovely way to reward ourselves for work well done. We look forward to seeing transformations in other member’s gardens when we reconvene in February.

About the Garden TeamA band of enthusiastic gardeners gathers once a month for an afternoon at each member’s garden in rotation. The working bee uses each members skills and abilities to achieve about six hours effect in an hour and a half. Then we rest on our laurels with tea provided by the host and a home-baked and/or healthy plate from the visitors. We head home a little fitter and inspired, often with a new cutting or garden tip. Meeting Times2nd and 5th Mondays
2 to 4 pm Meet at members' gardens by turn. (If the 2nd Monday is a public holiday, the garden team often meets on an alternate day. Information about changes is included in the newsletter) Convenor and contact detailsElspeth Maconachie
