HOPE (Helping Other Projects Evolve) volunteers from Witham Lodge, Skegness, dedicated their time to the restoration of an overgrown garden in the summer of 2010.

The workers cut back shrubs, weeded and performed general maintenance task on the Burgh le Marsh WI garden after a request by group president Eileen Chantry.

Eileen said: “We are extremely grateful for the work which has been done by this group of polite and helpful volunteers

– we would recommend them to anyone.”
