Station Forecourt Gardens

Uckfield,TN22 1AE

04 Jun 2011

23:00

A small team will be working at the railway station from 09.30am. The intention is to smarten up the areas that were set up as gardens. You can stay as long as you like, but I am sure everyone will have had enough by 11.00am! Bring some gardening tools with you - a pneumatic drill will be best, given the state of the ground!! (unless we have a lot of rain) - and your favourite gardening gloves. A small group tackled the badly-overgrown garden patches. The ground was very, very dry, and wearing a face mask would not have been OTT because there was so much dust kicked up. The group withdrew at 11.00am with still more work to be done. 9 sacks of garden rubbish were left for collection. Nothing interesting was found during the work..
