On a slightly rainy November morning, Emily, Andrew, Flo, Jo, Jayne and Martin arrived at Global Gardens for another Saturday morning community mission.

Poppy explained the tasks of the day to us, which involved Andrew and Flo digging some foundations, backfilling with gravel and then laying some eight square slabs to form an entrance to the classroom. Meanwhile Emily, Jo, Jayne and Martin set to work raking and digging out weeds in the play area at the back of the gardens. The roots of the weeds (which needed to be removed) were deep and involved much brute-force to remove them. Nevertheless, it was extremely satisfying when the weeds actually came out.

Flo and Andrew completed their task of laying the eight square slabs and came to help with our work on the roots. Eventually - and still unable to find the ‘square’ root - we took our leave.
