On Sunday 3rd November 2024, GVCV volunteers met at the Resthaven Care Home in Pitchcombe, near to Painswick.
The owners of the home (Lilian & Faithfull) are keen to increase biodiversity onsite, for the benefit of wildlife and the residents at the home.
Local resident David Pugh contacted GVCV for guidance and help establishing a wildlife pond onsite near to the dining room for residents to enjoy.
Pond digging as a winter task can be challenge given the short hours of daylight but fortunately our highly efficient team of volunteers delivered a pond in record time. Marking out, digging, lining, edging, and filling the pond in less than 5 hours!
The pond will now have winter to settle and finish filling up with rainwater before planting in the Spring.
An enjoyable if tiring task…
