Our June Working Bee

​

Saturday Bee:  A lovely sunny day saw Max working in the native garden, Lynn, our receptionist raking the large leaf drop in the area around the storeroom, while Brandon gathered rubbish and helped Paul, our NBC gardener for the day, load rubbish and foliage into the truck. 

Ron, Tony and Brandon, led by Dave, our supervisor, focused on the garden bed on the right hand side of the new stairs from the Park Avenue entrance.  Lots of weeds were hand removed along with climbing vines that wrapped around several trees.  Foliage along the fence line was also cut back and dead palm fronds were collected.

 

Wednesday Bee:  Winter arrived with a vengeance today but we soon warmed up in the wintery sun.  Chris M supervised our small group while Deanna ensured everyone signed in and registered the tools they took for their tasks. 

George, Kerrie and Chris M worked in the perennial garden weeding and pruning.  Kerrie raked fallen leaves in the playground and on the grassy slope near our storeroom, then discovered that the leaf blower was more efficient!  Chris M went the extra mile by digging out dirt and debris that was blocking the gutter alongside the perennial garden.

We then sat down to chat about the day’s efforts and shared a cuppa, lamingtons and bikkies.​
