❝The cup of tea on arrival at a country house is a thing which, as a rule, I particularly enjoy.❞ –P.G Wodehouse

AND THEN THERE WAS A GARDEN | AUG ’25 🪴

❝Gardens are not made by singing ‘Oh, how beautiful!’ and sitting in the shade.❞ -Rudyard Kipling

What a transformation! On 8 August 2025, the ACVV building was a hive of activity as a fantastic team of volunteer ‘worker bees’ from Montagu Community Church turned up, rolled up their sleeves, and planted a garden where there was none.

There were diggers, sorters, planters, tea makers, water carriers, organisers, photographers, spectators, and plenty of support from the sidelines. A BIG thank you to everyone who showed up and got stuck in, and to all those who donated plants and flowers.
