Good evening all. We are now into our last term of the school year and what a lovely start weather wise anyway. We ran our first horticulture workshop today. Our teacher Carmel was a font of knowledge about all the wild plants growing around and we had a nice time dreaming up planting projects for over the coming weeks. The morning was a great success and I would invite on other potential gardeners to next weeks session. Tuesdays 10am-12!
Sadly our Yoga class has finished for the year and I would like to thank all of those who participated in it.
So to the notices:
