SHUGBOROUGH Walled Garden – 2nd June Workday

June 3, 2019 by wntcv

No work over the Bank Holiday weekend, so ….this last Sunday saw a small but enthusiastic crew of SSNTV volunteers head back to Shugborough to work with James and Derek from the wonderful NT garden team there. Our main focus was in the walled garden with the volunteers divided into two groups to tackle the jobs which were moving and stacking logs from the recently felled pear trees and extending the safety fence to allow visitors to walk the full length of this part of the garden. Working at a cracking pace, and fuelled by plenty of yummy cake (thanks to James and Matt), the morning flew by and both groups made great progress.

Following a perfectly timed lunch break in the gardener’s bothy (enabling us to avoid the single downpour of the day) the log group filled the last pallet with logs and headed off to clear out the weeds on the wall by the shop, whilst the fence group finished digging in the last of the posts and then attached all of the new fencing. A great day was had by all and we are very much looking forward to heading back to Shugborough again at the end of this month.
