Weeding for our supper

Marston Forest Garden is a gorgeous project nestled in an allotment site in Marston. It is an orchard, in its infancy, and Goodgym have helped with various tasks over the last couple of years from digging out brambles to spreading woodchip and tree care.

This evening's task was weeding. The medicinal herb circle was in danger of being swamped by Rose Bay Willow Herb, bindweed and other pesky plants. After some instructions (and delicious flapjacks) from Isobel and Antony we got cracking, making sure that we were 100% sure what was a herb and what was a weed!

After an hour of hard work and chat the space was much clearer and the herbs looked a lot happier! We were then absolutely delighted by a visit from Rhian bring leftover bread and treats from Gails for us to take home. Waste not want not!!

With our carbs in hand we set off on our run, some back home for bread and butter, some to collect more Oxen on the Oxford Oxen Trail.

A fabulous evening!!
