Mission

Bindweed carpet no more

3 GoodGymers made their way to help an isolated older person in Cardiff.

  • Michael
  • Lowri Davies
  • Karolina
 
Sunday, 17th of October 2021

Mike, Lowri and Karolina arrived around 10am and were first greeted by Mr P and his lovely canine friend, Mr G(eorge) . A few minutes later, they kept on saying, "oh hello, you" to all other species.

Their task on a beautiful Sunday morning was rather simple: clear the garden so that Mr P can access it again.

The garden of Mr P did not look huge, but as soon the Good gymmers began to clear it, they have realised it is was a big task.

Bindweed was absolutely everywhere. The whole garden looked like a carpet made of bindweed. Even the washing line and roses were covered in it.

It took them 1 and 30 mins to remove the garden from weeds and pack it all up in blue bags. The time and effort was really worth it. At last, they could see a patio and the roses. And so could Mr P., who, by the looks of it, had plenty of ideas to make the garden mighty again.

He thanked the team for their efforts and bid farewell to Mike, Lowri and Karolina.
