ATTINGHAM PARK – 27th June – Walled Garden Workday

July 1, 2021 by ssntvrb

Returning from holiday, workday leader Helen was straight back to it and reports from last Sunday at Attingham:

10 volunteers from the Group arrived at the Walled Garden for a weeding task. We were shown to a large overgrown potato patch where the plants in question were just visible above the unruly growth – Covid to blame once again – and set to work.

Weeding might be seen as a boring task, but with the usual SSNTV banter and of course cake, a transformation soon occurred. Weeds were uprooted and trolleyed to the compost pile and gradually the potato plants emerged relatively unscathed.

We left feeling very satisfied sure in the knowledge that the kitchens at Attingham would be fully supplied with potatoes this year and some of us even went home with a few of the early spuds in our pockets to supplement our own teas.
