On the 10th of December 2011 the Gardeners and National Trust volunteers got togeather and carried out various tasks around the garden before the winter set in. The polytunnel was cleared, the hedge was mulched, the hoses were brought in before the frost, the compost was turned and manure was collected from St Georges Market stables. Thanks to all who showed up to make it a very successful day many hands do make light work. When the work was done everyone headed for the office where the soup was stirring, dumplings were baking, and mulled wine was stewing.
Here is a selection of phootgraphs which capture the day.
