Today was an 'open day' where volunteer parents (and a teacher) cleared out the rubbish at the site and pruned or removed bushes that were in the wrong place or were inappropriate for the wild garden. Some were dying, some were covered in thorns. We also removed the really grim looking chain link fence and chicken wire that jst acted as a collection point for leaves and bits of rubbish. It's looking a lot better now (and lighter too) but more tidying up work is still needed before we start work on planting and erecting insect and bird houses. We'll probably have another session next Sunday.
