Our task this month involved planting crocus, snowdrop and winter aconite bulbs for spring, clearing self-seeded sycamore and ash saplings to open up vistas across the Thames, painting some neglected railings and the usual litter-picking. A beautiful autumn day ensured a healthy and enthusiastic group of volunteers, including our painters from Citigroup, boys from Tower House School who took on the job of bulb planting and pruning and others from Richmond College and Esher College. This was the first event for our new volunteers' coordinator Chris, who was supported by old hands, Angela, Patrick, Jenny and Matt. Many thanks to all for another outstanding morning of volunteering.
