Join us in the garden for a relaxing Sunday. We've got some beds and paths to refresh with some home made compost and some recently delivered bark. We plant a couple of trees, a bunch of plug plants and even find time for a lunch break and a glass of wine. Stay tuned to see how we get on and whether we complete all our tasks by the time the sun sets...
