🌿 A big thank you to the Balfour Beatty volunteers! 🌿

We’d like to say a huge thank you to the brilliant team from Balfour Beatty who spent a day together volunteering at The Hidden Gardens!

They got stuck into some great work, clearing out our leaf mould bay ready to mulch The Gardens, harvesting our green tomatoes to be turned into chutney, and chopping up lots of material to feed into our compost bays. 🍅🍂

Their hard work will help us care for The Gardens, make the most of what we grow, and keep our composting efforts going. We really appreciate all the time and energy the team brought, thanks for helping us get so much done! 💚
