Seasons Greetings and thank you all.

Last Gardeners event for 2022

Saturday the 5th was our last chance to get rid of as much Holly as possibly on the graves adjacent to the main drive. Once again, ably led by Josie, the volunteers did a magnificent job. Thank you all for giving your time. The improvement is obvious. No more similar events till spring 2023 but …

Those of you that follow FBEC and the cemetery will know that we have been waging war on the advancing areas of Holly, Ivy and general shrubbery that got a strong hold in the cemetery during Covid. Last months tidy up was very successful so we are trying to squeeze a final assault before Winter …
