21st February Weekend Duty

Sweeping up and watering in Glasshouse, butterfly shift for two hours - counting numbers in the Tropical House/ Butterfly Display House every 15 minutes - so the events manager could keep control of how many people were in there at a time, so that it wasn't too overcrowded for safety and for a pleasanter experience (average of 200 people in there at one time - they use to let people in all at once - about 1000), and regulating by keeping count of every 10 people exiting and radioing people at the entrance of display to let them know.

Weeding in Alpine between plunge beds in covered area where Narcissus, Muscari, Crocus and Scilla etc. are kept.
