What a wonderful sunny morning and no better way to spend it but by being outside in an urban garden. Rachel, Helen, Olivia and Arshad all met at the Kingston Environment Centre to help Pat spruce up the yard.

Armed with brushes and dustpans, they slowly worked round each section scooping up decaying leaves, pulling up weeds and transporting the green waste to the compost bins. Lovely to have a chat and bask in the sunshine.

A big welcome to Arshad on his first Goodgym task and lovely to see Helen and Olivia on their second tasks! Hope you enjoyed it and see you at another task soon.

It’s been a while since we have been to Hogsmill garden and what a lovely surprise to find the garden bathing in morning sun, in bloom and smiling Brian with a list of tasks in hand. Once we got few rather quick tasks such as turning a pot with a tree around and moving a Xmas tree out of the way, we got stuck in with couple of bigger jobs. Getting ready for relaying new paving, Rachel armed with a pick axe lifted the old slabs up whilst the rest of us stacked them, based on size, behind the greenhouse. Petra and Jade took to levelling the ground to receive a wooden raised flowerbed whilst Helen (welcome to your first task) and Rachel were getting some nice soil ready to fill the flowerbed with. In the end, all 4 us took turns shaking, shovelling, digging and moving the wheelbarrow to get the planter ready for potato planting. Jobs all done, Brian rewarded us with various herbs to take home. Thank you. See you in a month!
