With the first of the glorious Summer weather upon us, volunteers have been adding some colour to Middle Engine Lane.
The first supplies of top soil and compost were brought in by Davey for Michael and Rob to seed and plant flowers along Middle Engine Lane platform.
And Cameron to plant flowers in the new planter in the visitors entrance to Middle Engine Lane.
Aaran and Robert have spent the morning relocating the Christmas tree of the NTSRA to the entrance of the site.
Having previously being located in the picnic area, the tree is required to be moved due to the construction of the Miniature Railway.
Having dug a hole and removed the tree from its pot, it is now in the ground at its new location.
With shovels already in hand, they reduced the pile of donated wood chippings by scattering them in the garden area to aid in the growth of plants and seasonal foliage.
