The removal of the pampas grass is nearly complete! On the 20th December, from 11:00 to 16:30 we will be in the field to continue our work. Just turn up any time during the day and join in for as long as you can. Please bring along a cup, so that we can give you a hot tea. There will also be a snack to cheer you up.
In January, we will mark out the design on the ground and start planting.
You can start inviting friends, colleagues and family to come and help us!
We're going to need a lot of hands!
