We started early and finished early with no tea and cake break today so that we could all head off to the Marple Food and Drink Festival for lunch. Before departing we did a big litter-pick, planted a new privet in the hedge around the bowling green, did some heavy pruning in the Hollins House flowerbeds and more maintenance of the park flowerbeds too. A lone volunteer from the Allotment Team was also found grafting on their bed.

Yesterday we also managed to complete treatment of the last of the benches for 2017.

As usual, park users showed their appreciation of our efforts by popping just over £13 in our donations bucket.
