Look out for the new tatol bed. There are two kinds of carpet bedding plants (plus recycled glass for the black) planted by a team of five under the direction of Jon Allbutt.
Jim Mckenzie has the responsibility for watering the bed, Ian Longley for grass cutting and Pam Bishop and Marian Godfrey for the regular maintenance of the bed.
Many thanks to all of them.
. . . and the wine bottle has a new label.
