Another community outreach project for the Garden Gang today at St Margaret’s church. Adding new life to the garden replacing a rotted/dead tree with a new Cherry Tree. The tree was deep rooted but the group worked together and used their talents and skills to get the job done 👍🏻

Sharing power - doing with people, not to people
Unlocking resources - harnessing, growing & making best use of all assets
