Last week, TCV Glasgow returned to Branston Court in Maryhill to do some maintenance work on a landscaping project which the team worked on last year in conjunction with The Beechgrove Garden (oooo!). The site is a supported accomodation service for young people and the original project transformed the neglected back court areas of the flats into a green space with seating and recreational features.
The task mainly involved trying to banish some very persistent horsetail which is running rampant throughout the beds – anyone who’s ever had to do with this weedy scourge will know what a nightmare it is to get rid of!
However, as it was a nice, sunny day, we were able to have a somewhat extended lunchbreak (don’t tell the boss!) lying on the nice dry Astroturf and watching the antics of a pair of acrobatic seagulls, with a banging techno soundtrack thoughfully provided by a Young Person who had left their window wide open.
