This issue will be the final record of my activities as an NWEC volunteer.

 

After April, we have not yet decided how we will record our activities as supporters of the Organization for Gender Equality.

Flower beds for winter, December 2, 2025

Flower beds for winter, December 2, 2025

 

On the morning, volunteers worked on the flower beds on a sunny.

These are the flowers that will decorate the flower beds until next year.

Dig up the old flower bed and remove any fallen leaves.

There was a lot of this and we were tired.

 

We all cleaned up this side as well.

And I've transplanted a lot of violets.

 

We all worked together to give them plenty of water.

 

 

It's so colorful and beautiful.

This year's flower bed maintenance is complete.
