Development, said: “Cafqd is working to improve water ac­ cess, sanitation and hygiene for some of the world’s most vulnerable and neglected peo­ ple, including those affected by war, climate change and


disease. It is potentially life­ saving work, tackling cholera, helping girls attend school rather than having to fetch water and ensuring that chil­ dren know about hygiene and waterborne diseases.” ' Cafod’s manager for the

THE ARRIVAL of spring means it’s now time to flex those green Angers.


VVith warmer w ith e r and longer days, the garden is in tull bloom and all the work that needs doing shows up. Whether you need furniture, timber, tools, a landscaper, pond


.supplies, seeds or m ae , local businesses can help make your garden blooming marvellous!


Jobs can range from the small, such as a tidy up and injection . of colour tyith flowers and plants, to grand scale developments incorporating a complete re-design.


If you want to transform your outdoors into something spectacular the possibilities are endless.


You could choose from a gazebo, water feature, garden building, ornate fencing, decking, patio, garden furniture, ornaments, bird baths, pots, baskets and lighting to name a few.


Water features add tranquillity and can range anywhere from a fountain to a beautiful pond full of fish.


Seek expert advice to find something which best suits your tastes and space by shopping at your local garden centre, DIY stores, specialist nurseries and independent retailers.


As with any garden, one of the main hassles are pests and it is worth keeping an eye out for the culprits.

Many experts consider biological control the best way to keep these pests at bay.


Blackspot can be a trial at .this time of year and removing infected and fallen leaves can also help prevent it from spreading.


Be sure to rake over lawns, re-seed worn patches, regularly clear weeds from paths and rock gardens, complete pruning of climbers


and plant perennials when the soil conditioris are suitable. tt may seem like a long to-do list, but it will be worth the effort. Tasty produce will soon sprout up for those looking to join the grow your own movement, tt's a good time to sew broad beans, spring . onions, spinach, radish and lettuce among others.'


Soft-leaved herbs such as mirit, chives and lemon balm, can now be cut back to within a few centimetres of the ground, tf you feed them an organic feed, you should have a second crop.


While foods such as sultanas, currants, mild grated cheese, bananas and grapes can be left out for birds, if you really want to attract them to your garden, invest in a bird feeder and supplies.


At this time of year, we can make the most of the weather and prepare our gardens by carrying out the earty spring jobs.


The most important thing is that if you start jobs now, you will reap great rewards in the summer.
