Flinging nettles

Loughborough Farm wanted some helping hands to do some weeding for one of the gardens in Styles Gardens, just around the corner. When we arrived, they had an extra task for us which was to move a load of freshly delivered compost to somewhere more out of the way. Half of us got on with this extra task while the rest started on the weeding in Styles Gardens, with the compost movers joining shortly after. An hour later, and after learning lots of facts about weeds and plants from Mohammed at Loughborough Farm, we'd uprooted and cleared the weeds, and given back some structure to the garden by discovering some old bricks and paving slabs underneath the top layer of soil and re-laying them!
