The old unused, unloved adventure playground area
Busy with the digger
Busy with the digger moving the wildlife log pile
A dug pond
Adding the underlay, recycled old carpets
Marking out the liner
Adding the spoil to create banks
A wet autumn provided the water
A full pond
A living willow fence
The old bikeshed
Mural in progress
Mural complete with gold ringed dragon fly
A few plants added
A dipping platform created from the old climbing wall
Plants in flower
