​Litter Picking Sunday (LOGS)

Fortune Green needs litter pickers!

There is an unpleasant build up of litter on the muddy green, mainly behind the thorny hedge between the flower beds and Studio Society entrance. 
We will provide handheld litter pickers or bring your own.
The thorns are sharp and painful so wear protective clothing.
 
Tools, litterpickers, gloves and guidance plus tea and cake are provided. Come out and experience the wonders of garden therapy. 
 
 WE HOPE TO SEE YOU BY THE FRIENDS OF FORTUNE GREEN BANNER
