Good praise for my gardening and #volunteer colleagues at @thebaytrust.bsky.social here. The dead hedge in our #GenerationRestoration area is coming along nicely, whilst the #PinesCalyx roof mowing reminds me I have a case study to send to @asbpuk.bsky.social soon! @unep.org
Where would we be without our garden staff and volunteers?! Every week they come to #ThePinesGarden with the skills, energy and enthusiasm that makes all the difference.
And the best part? They're really fun to work with! 🌱
