Mission

Bramble Jam

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

Miss M was frustrated that her garden, which she used to be very proud of, had become overgrown as she’s no longer able to maintain it. Ian and Ingrid volunteered to help with the tidy up following a task to move furniture for her.

The first challenge was to gain access as the side alleyway was virtually impassable due to brambles. Ian led the way and managed to make a path through so we could squeeze through.

Once in the garden the brambles, weeds and overgrown plants were soon cut back and bagged up. Some trellis which had fallen down was also removed.

On leaving, Miss M was pleased that her garden was tidier, the patio clear of weeds and the alleyway passable.
