Volunteers supported a heritage charity by tidying the gardens at Verdmont House this week.

Karen Border, the executive director of the Bermuda National Trust, which operates the museum in Smith’s, said a team from Bermuda Arborist removed invasive trees from the historic property, opened a view to the south shore and carried out other work on the grounds.

The team was made up of David McCann, Alec Rowney, Rowdy Crockwell-Laurent, Sam Wallace and Burnel Wilson.

Mr McCann said: “We are very happy to help BNT with this project; what better way to give back than assisting with such a great cause.

“The BNT ensures these historic locations, museums and green spaces will always be available for Bermudians and visitors alike to enjoy.”
