Another productive visit to the wonderful Wilton Estate community gardens.

report from GG Legend Anne

We spent the first half hour with our old friend (enemy) - the bindweed - and removing it to allow sunlight into the greenhouse.

Then the second half hour, we were clearing some flower beds of weeds and unwanted plants.

The crew have set up the new beds ready fir some summer growing and helping the gardens to thrive!! Great work!!

A great visit to Clissold Park to help the Wild flower/ Rose garden breath and prosper.

With the new planting philosophy outside the main house in full swing, combining no chemicals, wild flowers along with the remaining rose bushes to create a sustainable and environmentally friendly beautiful green space.

The downside is that weeds need weeding! After our bind weeding last visit we were tackling the yellow headed annoying thingy (named by Quentin from the park).

Treading lightly and trying where possible to stay out of the flower beds themselves we uprooted a massive pile of the yellow headed weeds in just over an hour of action. clearing the space and nutrients for the wild flowers to prosper and grow.

A huge impact in a short time, hopefully by our next visit we will start to see the wild flower progress!

Great effort from Abie and Maya for a proper green fingered workout!!
