Isebrook Project
On Saturday the Spire Group with a team of 6 were at Isebrook hospital. We planted 26 Trees and shrubs in front of the building to mark the Queens Platinum celebrations and to offset the carbon from the Scotland Banger Rally last year.
Our next visit will once again focus on creating the sensory planting for the Magnolia Courtyard Garden which is already taking shape. Watch this space for more information

Isebrook Hospital Project
Our first visit this spring to Isebrook Hospital yesterday saw a great turn out from both the Spire Group and Hatton Club plus volunteers. We had a very productive morning planting, digging over the gardens for future planting, grass cutting plus assembling and positioning a new bird table. The 2 benches, refurbished during the winter by David Birkett looked like new making it pleasant for the staff and patients to use.
