Waterproofed up we got set to jet wash; the transformation was incredible. Everything was washed from chess pieces to patios and furniture.
We were absolutely thrilled that our bulbs had started to grow and that it is really taking shape.
Nottingham Rotaract are working with the Ear Foundation; they are a charity based in Lenton who work with people of all ages to help transform the lives of deaf people. Since October 2010 Rotaract have planted bulbs and cleaned up the patio area so that those using the accommodation can benefit from somewhere to relax and retreat to whilst using services at the Ear Foundation or when family members are receiving treatment. We hope to continue this work with your help...

Planting
John Clifford from Wollaton Rotary Club had been growing lots of lovely plants for us so with his help we planted them, a bit warmer than our last visit
Snow!
Following a fantastic donation of 500 daffodil bulbs by Nottingham Council Fran and Helen brave the cold to dig the bulbs in!
In the beginning!
We started work on the garden back in October 2010 at this stage the garden was run down and in need of attention.
Our first job was to clear the leaves and plant 700 bulbs!
These were everything from crocus', daffodils, iris' and tulips in the hope that we would have a fantastic show of colour in the spring.
