The title of this entry says it all - wow! I started at the hall at 7:30 this morning with Jim, one of the guys who does gardening (insert franchise joke here), and left about 3pm this arvo with the hall gardens transformed from an awesome team of volunteers.
I don't have a digital camera (yeah, go figure!!!), but will try and get some pics during the week. Healesville hall is in a prominent location on the main highway through town. The gardens needed some TLC, and today they were weeded, plants trimmed, and 3 cubic metres of mulch layed down. We even discovered a garden bed that was hidden under some weed groundcover - with brick edging and all! Now there is mulch on the garden bed ready for some plants in the future.
We removed 8 cubic metres of rubbish!!! I had one skip ordered, and we filled it so quick that I ordered another and we filled it too!
The hall windows were washed, and now they sparkle! The piano was polished, and tuned on Friday as well, so looks and sounds great. The shed is cleaned out, with some of our pews stored in it in preparedness for our new chairs for the hall!!!
Seriously, I am EXTREMELY PROUD of all the people at Healesville. Today has been a great day. We had lots of helpers, and thanks to Jean who was concerned that due to her age and fraility she couldn't help with the working bee, so she made a cake for us for morning tea! It was a seriously good cake!
A big shout out to David H too - thanks for coming to help - really appreciated it.
I was given some freshly caught fish fillets for tea, so they are in the oven now and I am really looking forward to them! Will try and get some photos of the hall up soon - but if you are in town come and see for yourself!!! 114 Maroondah Highway, Healesville!
