A lovely, sunny gardening task this Saturday at the Kenilworth Centre! Four runners headed to the outdoor space to complete part 2 of a clearing mission for a future community garden.

The first few minutes were spent admiring the already very well-kept open space, before tools were passed out and areas were claimed. Kinga was the lone ranger who took on the thicket in the far corner, working quietly and speedily and offering everyone sweet treats when she was done. David covered the leaves, weeds and litter in the main space, while Rachel and Alexandra tackled the storage shed.

Although there were no seeds planted as today's pun suggests, there was plenty of plant work as we uprooted weeds and scraped out stubborn moss from between the paving slabs.

After a very fun hour and a half in the sunshine, we finished up covered in dust and with bags and bags of garden waste piled at the door. Kinga and Dave headed off on bikes with Kinga off to pick up a new one! Many thanks to everyone who got involved. Bring on more missions in the sunshine!
