6 of us from GoodGym Leeds made our way down to Bedford Fields after a short run.

We had specific instructions to pull any weeds that were sticky or stingy! The ladies did this whilst the boys did some heavy lifting, clearing a path & mulching.

The rain held off (for once) & we worked hard as a team to get as much done as possible in the time we had.

Bedford fields community forest garden is an open-access garden demonstrating how forest gardening can be a viable alternative to our food system - resilient to social and climactic change. It serves the local communities of Woodhouse and Hyde Park, and all who happen to visit this part of Leeds.

We are next meeting at Bedford Fields on Sat 29th April: https://www.goodgym.org/v3/sessions/gardening-at-bedford-fields-3rd-session-pick-your-own-free-fruit-bush-border-for-woodhouse-residents-run-from-hyde-park-bookshop

We also have other gardening missions listed on the website.
