Yes, ...

...it's St John's Garden again, looking tranquil in the late afternoon sunshine.  It was anything but tranquil earlier on.  We had 30 employees of a City insurance company doing a volunteer half-day in the garden.  We split the group in half.  One half went on a guided walk of Clerkenwell (lead by one of our volunteers who is a Blue Badge London Guide), and they litter picked as they heard all about the local history.  The other half were watering, planting, weeding, sweeping.  At half time, we had afternoon tea in the shade, and then swapped groups.

I had volunteered to help our leader to organise the groups doing jobs in the garden.  I asked MrHCB if he would like to come and see what we were up to.  I'm so glad I did.  All three of us worked really hard all afternoon, giving directions and advice, locating plants, brushes, hose pipes, trowels, compost, gardening gloves...  Thank goodness, the group seemed to really enjoy themselves, but I never thought to take a photo!
