Rake that for sweep thrills! 🧹

The first sunny Tuesday evening task of 2021 for eight Hammersmith and Fulham GGers saw a return to the site of our 4th birthday celebrations – Wormholt Park. Whilst a few of us had cycled to the task today, there were no sore ankles to report. We were met by the lovely Vanessa, a local senior park ranger, who explained the jobs at hand. Two sections required raking before flower seeds were to be sprinkled, and one of the larger flower beds needed to be weeded.

One of the two flower beds required bark to be brushed off before raking and seeding. But alas, there was only a single broom at hand. Keen bean ‘taller’ Beth volunteered for this task, making it look like she had been put in isolation for bad behaviour (or perhaps she’s barking mad). The rest of the group first concentrated on raking and seeding the other larger flower patch.

Once the flower patches were sun and dusted, the group re-formed to prune the existing flower beds in the dying rays of light. Many deep-rooted weeds were removed, with several yelps being heard as the roots suddenly gave way and the poor goodgymer on the other end tried to avoid a tumble in the dirt!

The task was over before we knew it, and what better way to finish off the evening than with homemade brownies from “Big Little” Beth. Yum!
