The main Almonry building underwent considerable renovation and internal structural changes over a two year period.  During that time, Beautiful Battle's volunteer gardeners were unable to enter with the front or rear gardens. The building contractors  were unsympathetic to the gardens and stored scaffolding, planks, bricks, tiles, etc,. on the lawns and flowerbeds.  Towards the end of 2022, BB gained access to the front garden and later to the rear garden.  The front garden has been cleared of weeds and overgrown plants and a planting plan has been created.  The rear garden has been cleared of weed and ivy.  Shrubs, along the lower wall, have been pruned to 8 foot.  Leaves in the pond have been removed and work has been started on the upper bed.
