Thank you to all the wonderful Effingham Gentleman’s Club members and the other community volunteers who did such a great clear up of the garden this morning. Andrew Hunt, a Gentleman’s Club member generously donated wood chippings to mulch the garden and our local landscaper Tim Hobbes very kindly gave up his Saturday morning to transport the wood chippings to the garden and take the green waste away.
We have a little more to do before the interpretation board is installed in November (date of unveiling to be announced). The board will tell the story of Barnes Wallis’ life and career and his involvement in and contribution to Effingham.
We hope residents like and enjoy the rejuvenated garden.
Well done all you hard working volunteers. A really great effort and benefit to the village.
I hope the future residents of Berkeley’s 600 new homes will appreciate it as well — now there’s another battle the village will fight tooth and nail I trust.
Think the Chapel did brilliantly in helping design the community garden initially, and establish the foundation planting. The clear up today has certainly made a huge difference. Can’t wait to see it all develop.
Thank you – it looks so much better.
