Mayfield School was a hive of activity over the weekend as the Salvation Army and volunteers blitzed through the school's to-do list in a one-day working bee.
Despite the dodgy weather, gardens were neatly edged and weeds pulled out, the edible garden was expanded and the playground was given a spruce-up.
The working bee at the decile-two school coincided with the visit of officers in training from Wellington and their families, who were also put to work, and the Blenheim South Rotary Club. Westmeats donated supplies and lunch.
Blenheim Salvation Army member Frank Zydenbos, pictured, was joking with fellow workers as he worked on the vegetable garden and said he was having a great time.
"It's good to put something back into the local community."
