Gardening Lunch Club

Yesterday we went to the Gardening Lunch Club at Woodham Community Centre. Howard who runs the Grow Your Community gardening project was there and we made Christmas table centre pieces using branches from shrubs and bushes in the garden. We had a buffet lunch there including pies, quiche, salad, and cake. We had to get a minibus there and back because we couldn't get two wheelchairs on the service bus.
