Simon and Paul joined a keen team of local volunteers at Thornhill Square Gardens on a rainy Saturday morning (the first of the year). Paul had run straight from Hampstead Heath parkrun, and Simon was due to run a very muddy cross country event at Horsenden Hill, but both runners found a good solid hour to dedicate to maintaining this lovely garden space!

Anna, the main volunteer coordinator, directed us to a couple of flower beds, and asked us to clear the beds of fallen leaves and branches. Then we trimmed the grass edgings and repaired a collection of broken willow fences lining the beds.

A lovely way to start the weekend! We will be back again on Monday evening!
