A humongous turn out today with over 30 of us braving the drizzle and heading over to Arnos Vale cemetery to help Hayley plant more pollinator friendly flowers for Urban Buzz. We even had our favourite GG tourist Beth join us - and without any prospect of shed smashing!

Well ... at least we thought we were heading over to Arnos Vale cemetery. On arrival a quick phone call made it apparent that my cunning scheme to over-promise on a visit to a Victorian era Necropolis was in fact an over-promise and instead we were heading for the (frankly almost as nice) Arnos court park.

Once there we split into two groups to plant daffodil bulbs and crocus bulbs with the specially designed - and unimaginatively named - bulb planters, taking care to steer clear of 'desire lines' (where peeps cut through and walk their dogs and stuff).

In 25 mins we planted literally thousands (possibly millions) of bulbs so fantastic job to everyone today!

Congratulations to Charlene for hitting 50 good deeds today! And thanks to Nick for the pun :)
