Simon was waiting in the Clubhouse with a strong cup of coffee for Sam and he showed up just on time before Kash and Sevan from GoodGym Ealing and Folarin, first timer from Southwark arrived.

It was a pleasure to introduce them all to Thorlands Garden and Simon gave them the history as Sam gathered the tools for today's task.

We focused on weeding the beds as the tulips were coming through and needed support in the first bed. This was a task Folarin and Sam were on as Kash, Lindy, Nathan and Sevan concentrated their efforts on beds three and then two with again weeding and digging a boundary for the mulch to be set.

All this work kept us occupied for an hour and 15 minutes. Lots were done this week and Simon was really impressed with all our efforts.
