10 went to Sprowston for Session 1

On a warm, sunny evening 10 Goodgymers, cycled, ran, walked and drove to Sprowston Hub for more gardening work. We nearly lost Jasmine and FuFu looking for us at the front of the building while we were around the back. There were a number of different task tonight, so Mike gathered us together, told us what was required and we divided ourselves into groups, went to our posts to wait for him to explain what was needed group by group. The most important task required a lady according to Mike so Jen was volunteered, it became evident this was quite an intricate task, involving making up a hanging basket, punching holes through the lining with an evil looking knife and adding plants. Thank goodness I’m no lady I couldn’t have managed that task. Luckily Jen had signed up to session 2 to continue her basket weaving! Meanwhile Andy and Sam were varnishing the wooden market stall stands, Andy managed to spill some on the floor, tut tut. Jasmine task was potting up plants in the greenhouse, while the rest of us were clearing the cold frames of pot plants, putting the frames back, the other cold frame had to be stripped of dead plants then pots put into the cleared frame and covered with compost, frames put back in. Last job was using concrete blocks to edge a flower bed at the back of the site. I have to say at this point I was definitely the Supervisor letting the males dig, lift and place the blocks into a fantastic looking edge. It was time to finish and have a group photo. Luckily Hitch arrived for Session 2 and was able to take the photo. Well done everyone
