This weekend three of us joined Epsom Rotaract to help with a garden project they are involved with at a local hospital. The garden, which went into disuse over 10 years ago, had become overgrown with thistles and moss.. It is now with the help of Local Rotarians and Rotaractos being transformed into a wildlife garden with a variety of plans and trees to attract local birds and insects.

As devistating as the pictures may look, the harsh cutting back is necessary to attract more butterflies and wildlife next year - the budliea will produce many more shoots and flowers this way!
