garden gang and totally transformed the overgrown nature area which was greatly\u00a0 in need of some tidying up.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000080\"><em>On Saturday 13th June the Karen and Steve, Kim and Marc and Kirstyn and John worked all day to remove the vegetation.\u00a0 It resembled more like a rainforest than nature area to start with.\u00a0 Armed with chainsaws and strimmers they got to work.\u00a0 John Connor then had the power of persuasion to get William Halliday from Galloway treecare to head out to Portpatrick and donate his services to chip all the branches that had been cleared.\u00a0 The wood chips generated will be recycled and used for paths inside the nature area .\u00a0 Huge thanks must go to him for being so generous with his time and machinery.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000080\"><em>Today, the garden gang were back in action.\u00a0 Putting in another full day they managed to secure the services of a mini digger from Jewsons to clear the site of old roots .\u00a0 The lifeboat crew helped supply some fuel for the digger and the big boys certainly enjoyed playing with the big toys!\u00a0 Again, many thanks must go to Jewsons and the RNLI for their support of the school.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000080\"><em>Tomorrow the team will be back, and starting to lay the paths.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000080\"><em>What a top team, and what a top community spirit, all working together to benefit the boys and girls of Portpatrick Primary.\u00a0\u00a0<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000080\"><em>Thank you, thank you,<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-6215 gallery-columns-4
