Happy First Birthday to Coaley Sensory Garden!
Landscaping the Mounds: Stage One Complete!
Amazingly, we’ve completed the work for this stage of landscaping the mounds a day early— and it’s all thanks to the brilliant volunteers Sam, John, Graham, Bridget, David, Madeline and Kim who turned up and worked incredibly hard in today’s beautiful hot weather.
Together we dug out stubborn weed roots, raked away dead plants, picked out stones, and smoothed the soil ready for seeding. It was a proper team effort, and the results speak for themselves.
A very big thank you to Rocket Rentals for providing the excavator free of charge, and to John Sirett, whose skill on the machine has been exceptional.
In between the graft, we enjoyed much‑needed drink breaks courtesy of the village shop, plenty of laughs, and that brilliant feeling of a community pulling together and achieving something real.
All we need now is a good downpour to get the grass growing.
