Royal Garden Party

Saturday, May 28th 2022

The Queen's Award for Voluntary Service was awarded to the Foxglove Covert volunteer group last year. This is the highest award given to volunteer groups across the UK. As a result two representatives were invited to attend a royal garden party. Names of all those wishing to go were put into a draw and the two lucky people were  Katie and Lesley. Katie does a huge amount behind the scenes editing Undergrowth, updating social media and taking care of the Friends and 100 club administration and Lesley is one of the longest serving volunteers having been a member of the bird ringing team for many years and also serving as Chair in recent years. 

Lately, there has been a lot of baking going on within the ringing group but now Lesley's expectations have reached a new level (no pressure Colin, Hayley and Aaron)!

This lovely view shows the grounds off well, almost a Nature Reserve in the heart of London. Blue skies prevailed on a well earned day!

Whilst in the grounds they discovered some familiar flowers too!

Thank you to Katie and Lesley for sharing their photographs, we look forward to a more detailed write up in the summer edition of Undergrowth.
