I'm studying for the foundation degree in horticulture at Bicton College in Devon. This blog is to record what we do during the course and what I get up to while volunteering at Knightshayes Court near Tiverton one day a week.

Last visit for a while

22/6/10

With hindsight it probably wasn't the best idea to spend the day before moving house weeding vast areas of gardens, but I had promised cake and thought I'd best deliver on that promise. Today's first task was to sort out the jungle behind the trefoil beds - after negotiating an overgrown bee-laden Phlomis - and de-weed the paths and beds. Afterwards we tidied up the beds around the stables and then did a bit of cosmetic work around the beds in front of the house. It was searingly hot in the sun so it was a relief when we went into the woods to weed the last remaining bit of Michael's Wood.

And hence to the cake! I was sorry to not have enough time to stay and take some final pictures before heading home to pack, but am looking forward to going back in September and hopefully working in the walled garden and nurseries.

7 hours - claimed all travel to date.
