Community mission

Down to a slow prickle

1 GoodGymer made their way to help the Thornhill Square Gardens in Islington.

I was the sole member of the GoodGym contingent on this rainy morning but was greeted warmly by the friendly community gardening team. We wasted no time cutting off the dead heads off plants and weeding the flower beds, filling many wheelbarrows and getting prickled by the rose thorns! I also found an interesting mushroom that I was reliably informed was a cep, a prized tasty mushroom. I also located the rare ‘Santa tree’ 🎅 amongst the rose bushes. All in a great morning and then finished in time for a run back home to a (non mushroomy) lunch. 🍄
