WPS Community Children’s Garden

Spring in here and our garden prep is in full swing, as we get ready for planting. Weeds and their roots are easily removed, thanks to lots of rain making the ground soft & muddy. 

 

We’ve also spent time tending to our berry plants to remove old, dead canes and tie up the new canes to give us a big berry crop in Summer.

 

Thanks the mums, Clare and Jen for helping to prune the raspberries. We’re looking forward to a bounty of raspberries next year.
