Lovely to be back in Wilton!!

Starting the session on the running train with Clair and GG first timer Milly outside Shoreditch Fire station and running the 3.5km up to Wilton picking up Charlotte, Jen and Amanda B along the way to Wilton.

Reaching the tool shed to meet the rest of the crew who were primed for GG action!

Gloving up and getting weeding to clear a monster over growth of thistles to free the other plants from being over run. The standard use of a sledgehammer to pack the weeds down and Toyin sawing down trees like a lumberjack!

We then had the cutters bringing light to a number of ground floor flats by cutting back the bushes and vines to brighten up a number of households days.

Big shout out to Amanda N for completing he 50th GoodDeed!! A massive effort 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

With the flower beds looking primed for some planting and a job well done we jumped aboard the running training making drop offs at Bike racks, drinking spots and Borough boarders to finish off a top evening!!

Thank you all so much for coming along!! Next week we will be Hackney City Farming hope you can make that adventure!!
