The sun wasn't quite shining for us but it wasn't pouring with rain which I'd say was an improvement in weather and required no one to be testing the waterproofness of their jackets.

We were heading to our favourite pocket garden, Luxmore Gardens, to continue tackling the weeds that have overtaken the plants in the flower beds and to begin mulching the weeded areas to protect our hard work.

There was lots to get stuck into and after a quick briefing on what to remove and the priorities, armed with tools we got stuck in.

We had groups clearing the weeds across various flower beds and a team of Miguel and Isaac moving the mulch back and forth (and sweeping up after the final bag was filled). Fantastic work team, we made a huge difference in a short space of time?

How many Goodgymers stood on the plastic frog thinking it was a real frog? Answers in the comments!

We'll be back at Luxmore Gardens in 2 weeks to continue what we've started and there maybe an option for some painting!

At the weekend we have the potential for multiple good deeds on Saturday (or just the 1): - Litter picking at Catford Parkrun @ 10.00 - Helping in the garden at St Mary's Church @ 10.30
