Put the kettle on, make a cuppa, take off your shoes and socks and paddle down the river with me as I embrace working as a volunteer with my local river Conservation Trust. Sometimes it might get a bit muddy as I'll be digging and growing veg with the Garden Share scheme too.

Garden Sharing
After my last possible garden share fell through, today I went to meet with the coordinater and a volunteer who needs some help with the garden she's currently in. It was a good meeting, L seems lovely and if the garden owner sees no problems with it, I should hopefully get to share a garden share. *Fingers crossed*

Gardening possibilities
Today I went to try and get in touch with a lady who had a garden that I might have been able to use for growing vegetables. It was part of a garden share scheme where someone who could no longer tend their garden is matched with someone who would like use of a garden. We were matched back in March but lack of funding for the project meant that at the time I wasn't able to begin gardening. The coordinator has been attempting to ring the lady but got no answer. There's no response at her door either, even at times when her carer should have been there. Slightly concerned that something may have happened to her and she is no longer living at home. I hope this isn't the case but I've left contact details so if she is still there, she should be able to get in touch.
In other gardening news:
There's a local community garden down the road from me, I've been meaning to go along for a while now but for one reason or another I haven't been able to make it. I might have also secured myself a voluntary position there but I need to wait until the organiser is back from holiday to hear when inductions will be taking place.
