I had the delightful opportunity to lend a hand to Friends of Morley Park. I had never been to Morley Park, so it was a joy to discover another green space in Merton. My jobs consisted of bagging up gravel in an area that is hopefully going to be able to be planted in soon, cutting back stinging nettles under benches (to avoid sore bottoms!) and plucking weeds from the grass. I hope to be back soon

Atif and I had the joy of going to Deen City Farm for a litter pick. The sun was shining, the families were out and litter was picked! Thankfully there wasn’t too much litter, so lots of ground was covered. It was my first time at the farm and won’t be my last!

Tonight, the team headed to the Tranquil Garden at Mostyn Gardens for a group session that was anything but sleepy! After a little reshuffling of the job list, we split into teams to tackle a trio of tasks: painting planters, digging to plant new trees, and getting stuck into some serious weeding.

Of course, in true GoodGym style, we got it all done and there was even time to catch up with some regulars that we haven't seen for a while. We also had the pleasure of meeting Brenda, who earned the very important t.shirt, by completing her very first session.

Well done everyone! Next week we are at Raynes Park station and need an idea of numbers in advance (to arrange the soil bags) so sign up if you can make it: https://www.goodgym.org/happenings/help-friends-of-raynes-park-station-with-moving-compost-ee5e966b-365c-4536-8ff4-eaffd3e5d078

Audrey and I supported the DLAG team to set up for their annual tea party. Tables and chairs were moved and arranged. 200 people were due to attend so we did a lot of juggling and squeezing but we got there! I hope they have a fantastic time!
