Olden Community Gardens needs help clearing out an abundance of three cornered leek - aka an edible weed - from the wooded area of their garden. ๐Ÿช ๐ŸŒฑ ๐ŸŒณ

All parts of the plant, from the bulb to the flowers, are edible fresh or cooked, and you'll be able to take home what you pick to use in your kitchen. ๐Ÿ˜‹

Please bring a head torch ๐Ÿ”ฆ, gloves ๐Ÿงค, and a bag to put your foraged leaves in if you'd like to take them home.

โฐ Meet us at Arsenal Community Hub at 6.45pm for a warm up and short run (we'll do a lap or two of the stadium before heading to the gardens which are right next door), or at the gardens at 7pm.

The garden gate is on Whistler Street, opposite number 22 Whistler St, just behind the Islington Learning Disabilities centre. What Three Words location for the garden: ///quite.desk.soak.

Options are available to run between 2km and 4km in total

Remember that we run to and from the task, so you'll only be running for half this distance in one go.

This is a standard GoodGym group run. If you can't run for more than 15mins without stopping or you're worried about any aspect of the session, contact us.
