Our last trip to the Southmead Hospital Allotment where, over four visits, we have managed to clear an area of turf and today applied the finishing touches by turning over the soil and removing any remaining grass, weeds and rocks.

It was great to see Camila along for their first task, joining Melanie and myself as the GoodGym contingent alongside Jason and Issy, the regular allotment volunteers.

Between us we managed to clear the space, rake it over and have it ready for the planting of the wildflower seeds on Monday.

We hope to be back to see the meadow in full bloom later in the year 💐🌸🌺🌻🥀🪻

Sunny Friday and a forgotten shed key meant hand weeding which was fortunately easy with the drier soil and meant the whole wheel barrow was soon full and we were on our way for the rest of Friday’s sunshine.
