With the lovely warm weather accompanied with the horrible wet weather Cow Parsley in growing like wild fire. Our team mission last night was to cut it back so we could get access the the churches gardens and graves.

Cow parsley is a hollow-stemmed, tall plant that grows rapidly in the summer before dying back. It likes shady habitats in particular, and can be found decorating woodland edges, roadside verges and hedgerows with masses of frothy, white flowers. These flower umbels (umbrella-like clusters) appear from May until June.

Cow Parsley is a member of the carrot family and can indeed be used for consumption but be very careful you don't mistake it for Hemlock which is very poisonous. Interesting fact:-

Hemlock was the plant that was given to the famous Greek philosopher, Socrates, at his execution

Thanks guys for all the hard work put in yesterday, as always you were amazing. See you at the next mission 🙌🏻

Last night we we're back outside and back working on the Churches paths and gardens. The paths weeds, nettles and brambles had revisited during the cold winter months and had now overstayed there welcome, it was now tine to reclaim our turf.

All our hard work was rewarded with a lovely cup of tea and chocolate biscuits in the church after, whats not to love.

Massive hi 5 to Caz and Martin for the hard work put in, you are both awesome

Another successful morning for the Bostall Wood crew. It was time to cut down some trees to carry on with the path border which i must say is looking very impressive. We were learning new skills as we went along from chopping of the trees to pinning them along the footpaths Back again next week and would love to see you there 

It was great, we cleaned paths and removed some fallen trees.

Today we we cut back large amounts of Holly bush to try and free the woodlands path ways. Working like real pros  it didn't take long make some real progress along our pathways. Thanks for all the hard work Team 

This was a drop-in community-wide flower-planting event organised by Sicup Partners BID (Business Improvement District).

It was Dita's first ever GoodGym task 👏 🎉, helping to bring floral life and colour to the grounds of Rose Bruford College.

When Johnny and Sarah arrived later (after parkrun and additional miles for their London Marathon training), the task had finished. Dita and the earlier volunteers had done a great job and the flower beds were looking lovely in the spring sunshine.
