Gardening at St Mary's Church

❓ What's The Task?

We're back gardening in St Mary's churchyard, where we'll be helping gardener Cliff to maintain the peaceful space for church-goers and locals alike. Keeping the space clean and welcoming also helps to reduce anti-social behaviour in the area.

At the task, we could be:

• Weeding
• Spreading wood chip
• Cleaning the "monuments" (old grave stones)
• ...or similar

📍 Where and When 🕖?

• 6:45pm: Meet at Ealing Broadway Station for a gentle 1.5 km run (each way)

OR

• 7:00pm: Meet at St Mary's Church, St Mary's Rd, London W5 5RH

  • Google Maps

🧤 What Do I Need To Bring?

• 👕 Clothes that you don't mind getting dirty
  • Long sleeves would be helpful in case there are nettles
• 🧤 Gardening gloves, if you have them
