You've been here before, you know the drill

Sam, Tilly and Holly met Simon for another session at Thorlands. It was Holly's second good deed as she was convince by her childhood friend, Tilly to come along.

Since we were a fairly small group, we decided to stay in the Walled Garden to continue with beautification of the walls and entrance.

Our first task of the day was to retrieve a pallet from around the corner next to the off-license as no one had claimed it and it's useful to use for vertical growing.

The task was done within ten minutes, but the next task would take more focus and a bit of health and safety. Normally, at GoodGym we do not use power tools for safety reason, but we were all keen to learn a new skill. We had a crash course on how to use a drill with Simon and once we felt comfortable using it, we proceeded to take it in turns to drill sticks into a wooden beam that will support the growth of the honeysuckle bush at the entrance "archway". There were 9 sticks to put up and we equally divided the amongst each other to put up....thus, practising our drilling skills. The result ended up being a masterpiece and we were impressed with our drilling abilities.

The session ended with a harvest as Simon kindly gave us a bag of leafy greens and herbs to take home.

We will be back to Thorlands on Wednesday evening for our group run to clear more of the Forest garden's reoccurring bindweed issue.
