Mulchi-tasking to meet green goals

Great teamwork in Alexandra Recreation Ground meant we had no trouble meeting our goals for today’s gardening session: tidying under the length of the newly planted hedgerow, clearing weeds (some of them monstrously big after recent rain), checking the saplings all have space to sprout, and wheelbarrowing into place a thick layer of mulch to stop the soil drying out as the weather gets warmer. Shout out to James for completing his first good deed and for providing an ace pun. Also to Bromley GoodGymer Claire who stopped by to hand over the beautifully designed sign she has been busy making for the Friends volunteering organisation – this will be displayed at the Bug Hotel in neighbouring Cator Park, replacing the original sign damaged by vandals.
