Our garden now….

Congratulations to our Muriel Fleming on her video with VASLAN for their volunteers week (who are one of our contributors) in which she gave an insight to what working in the garden meant to her wellbeing.
We welcome any volunteers who can spare a few hours a week to help, even those of you who are not ‘green-fingered’ can help in pulling out weeds or even just brushing up around the site to keep the area nice and tidy thereby a joy to sit out in.

CRAFTING WORKSHOPS
At some point in the month, Jane, will be bringing in sample books which have fabrics, beads, yarn etc – these are from Jane’s earlier college days doing Fabric & Design and hopefully will give us more crafting ideas.
Carol has now secured some old household keys and hopes to introduce our members to the art of making wind chimes – date to be confirmed.
