Kingston upon Thames

Community mission

Old privet, new currants, a borrowed bridge, and no blues in sight!

On a grey and damp Sunday, Adam from Woking GG and Jassy from Kingston GG got stuck in helping at the Kingston Edible Forest. Wedded to the task of getting as much done outside while it stayed dry(ish), we started off by helping our hosts to move a bridge so as they could redirect the pathways through the forest. Once that threshold was crossed, next up was digging up some privet that had formed a ring around a plum tree, and replanting it elsewhere so it could fill its own space instead of competing with the plum. Lastly we took woody cuttings of blackcurrant and redcurrant and planted them into a freshly dug bed before getting warmed up with a hearty feast of Brian's parsnip soup and Christmas cake from a local bakery. It was a lovely task and we look forward to going back again soon. Thanks to everyone for their hard work and good spirits!
