6 of us met at Age UK Lewisham & Southwark's day centre in Bermondsey to help them spruce up the garden. We arrived to find most things a bit overgrown with weeds starting to take over. With a vague strategy of strimming the longer grass and uprooting as many weeds as we could see, we set to work. Four of us started de-weeding the area around the vegetable planters, with two focusing on the overgrown grass in main view of the centre.

We were all almost certain we were going to get rained on but the weather held out for us and we even saw sunshine for most of the time we were there!

After an hour and a half we agreed it was a good point to down tools. There was still a lot more to do when we left but give it another visit or two and it will put it right in no time.

Great job gang!
