There's always the chance to make a big impact in the 2 hours in garden at Marsha Phoenix Trust and always a long list of tasks to keep it looking in tip top shape. Both of these are good for us as GoodGymers like to make a big impact and have a variety of tasks.

Welcome to Harry who was doing his first community mission!

Sue gave us an overview of what tasks we'd prioritise for todays session, one of the main tasks was tackling the brambles that have been taking over the herb garden. Another was to remove the plants surrounding another plant and remove the dead leaves - that's the extent of my technical plant knowledge. And then the rest of us got stuck into clearing the weeds and making sure only certain weeds went onto the compost piles.

I had to leave at the tea break but hopefully the second half of the session was as good as the first!
