TCV volunteers will be in the eastern part of the Cemetery from 10.15am and you should be able to spot their van and the volunteers in blue sweatshirts, using long wooden rakes.
If you’re planning to come along, please can you let us know if possible so they can put extra rakes in the van.
Raking up and removing cut grass will help to encourage wildflowers by reducing fertility and reducing the growth of coarser grasses. The work is fun and cups of tea will be provided.
