19th Fairfield St.Paul's Beavers earned their Gardening Badge at St.Timothy's.
The boys were welcomed at St.Timothy's by Brother David on Thursday 19th April 2018.
They helped plant a bit of colour back into the flower bed to the left of the church, planted their own seeds to grow at home and enjoyed a tour around the fabulous tree creations in the garden.
On 26th April 2018 they returned to St. Timothy's where they experienced an evening with a parishioner who is our local Bee Keeper and who gave a wonderful presentation and brought along a Bee Observation Unit and Junior Bee Keeper suits.
Well done to our Beavers!
