Awbridge Wildgrounds Group getting ready for the spring

The weather being the way it has, it has been difficult for me to meet with the group, so as per usual much of our correspondence has been via email . As my time with them was now coming to an end I asked if there was anything else I could do to help them out after all being a pretty resourceful bunch they hadn't needed much  financial help from me and I still had a little left in the kitty to assist.

The main things they wanted was one  years Scrapstore membership  and some children's gardening gloves and tools to help them get going in the new year and of course we were happy to help with this request.   

So on Wednesday I finally got the chance to meet up with a couple of them as well as some friends to try out some of the equipment and to check out how the soil conditioning was going..

We should of brought our wellies

I still haven't found any treasure 



So this is it my time with the group has now come to end ...and it is great to know that they are already planning ahead and have arranged to meet up again this friday to plan for the coming months and they are already talking about seeds

Over the last year people have come and gone however the group is now made up from  a strong core group of seven  with plenty of people willing to lend a hand when needed and knowing how resourceful they are I am sure they will be planning some great activities in the future.
The well known saying - Mighty oaks from little acorns grow seems very appropriate.
