Sunday (16.2.25) 0900 hours can we meet at Rowlands Dell to rendezvous with Paul and Harry Richards (tree surgeons) who are really going out of their way, on their day off, to deliver some saved logs for us and cut them down to the correct size on site for us to insert in and around the archway.

Tasks:

(1)      It would be really helpful if people could bring hammers to tack down two lengths of wire to connect multiple logs together, that will go over the top of all the loose logs and act as a retainer. It is a fiddly lengthy job that will be so much quicker if we can do it together. We are quite keen to get the logs secured in one go to prevent any tampering or theft!

(2)      If you could bring a spade/garden fork we could also transfer Colin’s kind donation of digitalis from the holding area to the upper border.

(3)      If time permits, we could also loosen the soil where the yew trees will be forming a hedge on the big planting day, approximately 1.5 m away from the wall.

The customary essentials include sturdy boots and garden gloves.

Huge thanks in advance,

FOMD
