Mission

ApriNOTs! It's time to pick weeds instead.

2 GoodGymers made their way to help an isolated older person in Southwark.

After I got a bit lost on the way there, I met up with Lucia and we arrived to harvest Ms M's apricot tree...but someone had beat us to it! Instead, she had plenty planned for us in the front garden. So we de-weeded her ramp, replanted a few floral favourites, turned over the soil, pulled up more weeds, added lots of mulch and even had a few lessons on gardening. After 1 hour and 45 minutes, we were done!

Ms M was very pleased and showed us round her collection of fruit trees, even insisting we take a few apricots for our troubles.
