Report to follow and excWEEDingly good night

20 happy Hackney GoodGymers ran 4k or walked 2k to Wilton Estate Community Garden to clear 3 huge green waste bins full of weeds from 2 big growing areas!

Great to welcome along our GG first timers to the session!! Hope you enjoyed the ride and will be back thirsty for more next week!!

Saturday we are heading to St Joseph’s Hospice for a Community Mission (No DBS required) to clear up after their amazing fundraising jumble sale!! Be great to have along! Information here.

A random route to get us going as the rain started to fall eating up the main portion of our running distance for the evening as we went Canalside for a little added flavour. Reaching Wilton after 3k of running we met the team and rolled up ready for action!

Splitting into 2 groups we had the enforcers who literally grabbed everything in sight in a massively overgrown bed turning a jungle into a perfectly formed raised bed garden ready for planting in 30 Energetic minutes. The second group were literally on the pull!! Raspberry cane that is and they pulled with great might both out of the ground and loosing up the root for others to help out. Creating piles of raspberry cane ready to be replanted around the garden in a more manageable density.

With 2 bins and a huge builders bag full of weeds we were off nipping back the shorter way in perfect time.

Thanks for coming along, see you next week for our visit to Hackney Parks and social!!
