Well, the weather has proven a giant hurdle on this project and it hasn’t finished with us yet, we’ve battled snow flurries, strong easterly winds and freezing temperatures over the past couple of weeks – bring on Spring and Summer!
Despite the harsh weather we managed to get the new surface down and all the wooden edging boards in place.
We started work on the plastic bottle greenhouse, the frame and door are in place, next part is putting all the bottles onto canes and placing them into the frame (the fun part!)
We also put in gate posts and living willow arches, we will be building rustic gates out of hazel to fill the gaps.
And last but not least we finished the willow ‘screen’ around the story telling area, once this greens up and grows in it will create a nice wee enclosed area for the children to enjoy their story time.
It’s the Easter holidays now but we’ll be back at Woodacre Nursery in April building raised beds, compost bins and finishing the plastic bottle greenhouse, fingers crossed we’ll be doing all that in glorious sunshine!
Happy Easter everyone!
