Phase 2 Part 2: More Big Stuff

In November, Earthcalling came back to finish the garden. A small mountain of timber, 6 tonnes of topsoil, 20 meters of willow and 2 tonnes of bark chippings had to be knocked into shape in 4 days.
With the help of Prince's charity, Scottish Business in the Community and a small team of very hardworking volunteers who'd escaped from Lloyds Banking Group for the day and were rewarded only with soup and rolls, we shifted the raw materials into place and the garden was completed.
The planting was done by the children, the flowerpots and Belfast sink were donated by local firm Woods Roofing and the arty flourishes were done by Gus from Earthcalling.
We love the end result.
