Balsam Bashing at Bramhall
4 GoodGymers made their way 5.0km to help their local community in Stockport.
- Saturday, 3rd of October 2020
- Led by Sian Dobson Hughes
The Friends of Bramhall had successfully planted the 8,000 crocus bulbs so our mission shifted from Hocus Crocus to Balsam Bashing!
And boy did we bash it!
Himalayan Balsam is a weed that grows and spreads extremely rapidly, and while they produce a wonderful vibrant pink flower (and a fun to snap seed) they the bane of the Bramhall gardeners' life! So we learnt ...every day is a school day!
So, how else do you fill a soggy Saturday morning than bashing balsam?
We pulled, we snapped and we slid ... alot!
The weather may have be miserable but our spirits were high!
