Despite dire weather forecasts the planting conditions were perfect for both plants and volunteers. We welcomed a new Stationeer, Christine Wood and the number of participants jumped to nine after Meegan joined us. All the new perennials (pictured) were planted.They will need some supplementary watering as the weather warms up; the soil was surprisingly dry and compacted in most places.Thomas, John and Roger broke up some of the worst compaction but to make good the new plantings we will need to improve the soil around them at the next working bee.
