Planting flowers and gardening
Aideen and the exploring options trainees were improving the look at the front of the centre this week. They waited for the spring plants to die and then cut them back for the new summer plants. Some of these plants are Trailing Fuchsia, Geranium, Pentunias, Violas and many more. They used organic bedding compost for all their work.
