Gardening session by Royal Appointment!

Fancy getting your hands mucky this weekend?

The Friends of King George V are planning to do some gardening on Saturday (weather permitting). The group will meet at 10am to add some new shrubs in the bed by Logan Street and to plant some bluebells donated by the city council. Bring a trowel, spade or fork if you can, but the Friends also have tools to share.
