It was Lily's first GoodGym as she met Daryl, Gemma and Sam from GoodGym at Alberta Communal Garden to trim back and dig up roses and weeds from a bed in the middle of the garden, which will become grass. Alex and Peter were there to help out and supervise the task as we needed a few techniques and guidance to get the rooted plants out.

After an hour of hard work, we managed to get all the roses and almost all weeds out before we raked it over.

We can't wait to go back to help out with some more tasks as the project develops further.
