Our weeding is definitely above par-snip

Holland Town Estate is a familiar destination for GoodGym Lambeth on a Tuesday night but with it getting too dark in the evenings we made a Sunday morning visit to help Ameena and some residents do weeding and bulb planting. While Graham got a lesson in how to cut back buddleia and think about how best to embody the borough of Islington at the Christmas party, Sophie and Beth turned over soil and Lyndsay and Josh planted bulbs along Brixton Road.

With that area now looking much tidier we moved to the playground where more weeding and bulb planting was required. We started off under lovely blue skies, reassuring Graham that shorts were indeed the right choice on this cold winter's day, but after a while the skies became grey so it was a bit of a race to get everything finished up before the rain. Some great teamwork meant that weeds, and a surprisingly large amount of parsnips, were removed, bulbs planted and mulch spread in no time.
