A good idea with the work bench. In Prešov, we could help with the church of St. Nicholas surroundings; there is still plenty to do. How many people actually attended that event?
We also had this practice last year near the church on Saltivka - 25 people gathered, and in one day they cleaned the entire fence and planted fifty bushes. And how many people came in your case? I wonder if there were men there too, because in our country mostly women pulled.
At home in Paris we did the same last year around Saint-Alexandre-Nevsky Cathedral. Around fifteen people, including five men, cleared the small garden and replanted the rose bushes damaged by winter. It changes everything to see the place clean. How many of you were there exactly that day?
Here in Varna, last spring we did something similar around the church "St. Archangel Michael" in Asparuhovo. About 18 people came, including several men with scythes and shovels, and in one day we cleared the weeds and laid new tiles on the path. I wonder how long you were in Slavyanska Beseda?
Yes, that's exactly it: a good cleaning and the place will immediately breathe. There were a dozen of us that Saturday, with only three men, the rest moms and retirees from the neighborhood. Have your rose bushes recovered well after winter?
