Weekly update, 27th June

Who's relieved the sun's gone in for a bit?! We're all enjoying the cooler weather after last week's mini heatwave. Though with preparations for the Summer Picnic in full swing, we are keeping every digit crossed for a decent day of sunshine on Sunday!

What the volunteers have been up to:

Craft evening, 21st June

The third and final craft evening took place last week. Thanks to all who took part in these sessions and helped make some fab decorations for Sunday's Summer Picnic

Friday Group (Little Wittenham), 23rd June

The weed pulling work continues! The team continued their work in the fields around the aroboretum and took a break to enjoy the celebrations (and canapes!) at the Supporters' Day and Rose Ceremony (see below).

Supporters' Day and Rose Ceremony, 23rd June

We're delighted that so many of you could come along to the celebrations. The traditional midsummer Rose Ceremony is always a highlight and it was great to be able to share some of our successes of the last year and look forward to the future.




Sign painting, 27th June

Just this morning we had some much needed help from a couple of volunteers who've painted the signs ready for Sunday - thanks guys!

Coming up...

Summer Picnic, this Sunday!

Last call for volunteers for this weekend! There's still time to let us know if you'd like to come and help out at the Summer Picnic on Sunday. It should be a great day with loads going on: make a smoothie on the smoothie bike, mini melodeon workshops, craft a party hat or natural print placemat, pop some corn on the fire, join in a family ceilidh or sit back and enjoy some live music... Plus party games, DIY face painting and a barbecue - what more could you ask for? It would be great if you could join us as a visitor if not a volunteer! And yes, there will be cake and party bags...
