In October and early November we held a number of garden workshops in conjunction with the Northern Ireland Conservation Volunteers and a small group of local volunteers.
A cuppa to warm up the workers before they got started.
A visitor to the Centre.
A number of projects were undertaken, the first being putting up nesting boxes in a few of the trees around the Centre.
Desirable residence with great view and very reasonable rent!
Another project was to construct a compost box to make the material we will need to keep our grounds looking wonderful.
Work started on a heather bed at the entrance with some serious digging and the discovery of some quite impressve stones.
Daffodils were planted down the outside of the fence beside the road - honest - but you'll have to wait until next February to see the evidence.
More hole digging!
Olive got stuck into hedge planting on the river side of the fence with a little assistance.
Wait until you see the result!
A couple of the volunteers.
Some of the heather plants planted.
Supervisors.
Making life more difficult for any weeds who might like to take up residence in our heather bed.
The completed heather bed, covered in bark, once again to keep the weeds down.
There is still more to do - but a good start has been made.
Thank you to all those involved.
