A Christmas Discovery

Probably the coolest Christmas present Karen got for me was the gift of garden work, courtesy of Adopt An Area at Discovery Park. The idea is very ‘Big Society’ – volunteers take responsibility for a plot at the park, clear out invasives, remove trash and replant.

Here’s our Before shot – REI has been through but there’s still a lot of work to do.

We also had a few eager helpers – Anna and Dash. Thanks Team Rusen!

The rest of the park has some old Army buildings, a beach, some great woods, an Indian cultural centre and a sewage treatment plant. It’s a pretty cool park.
