Louis and Sheila were faced with a very brambley path at Braywick Plant Nurseries. It got rather out of control over the winter, but now they would like to clear the space so it can be used by other community groups. We set to work with loppers, trying to avoid the prickles,and loading the debris into big bags. Sheila might have won the prize for extracting the longest bramble, but Louis definitely was a hero in tackling the biggest and most evil clump. A very satisfying task, and looks much better, but still more to do another day

Sheila and Juli were joined at Braywick Heath Plant Nursery by Mel and Sarah for their first ever GoodGym session. Our task for today was to clear the tinder-dry weeds from a large area, as there was concern that they were a fire hazard. We set to work with loppers, shears, a hoe and a rake, clearing the area, and pulling the weeds out where we could. The local moggy came and inspected our work, but stayed pretty aloof refusing all attempts to engage with her. Thanks to everyone's hard work, much of the plant material has been removed and it also looks a whole lot better. We hope that we will see Mel and Sarah at a future session

4 GoodGymers gathered at Braywick Heath Nurseries, who are still trying to sort their grounds out after nearly having to close at the end of last year. The gravel area running alongside the greenhouse has been invaded by lots of weeds, so taskowner Kate was keen that these should be pulled out before going to seed and blowing onto the rest of the nursery. We welcomed Lindsay to her very first GoodGym task, it was great to have her along too. The dry weather and membrane underneath meant that most weeds pulled out easily, but some were a bit tougher. We rewarded ourselves with some blackberries before cutting the brambles down. By the end of the session we had filled two big dumpy bags with the weeds and the area looked a whole lot better. Great work, team

Laura and Sheila helped out at Braywick Plant Nurseries. While Laura potted up some plants from modules, Sheila joined Charlie in cutting back the hedgerow in the car park, and getting rid of the weeds so that it can be planted up with something more interesting. This should make it a much more inviting space

Sheila and Laura joined another volunteer at Braywick Plant Nurseries. After doing a quick scout to remove any ailing plants from the sales area, we settled down to the main job of the morning - trimming the straggly petunias to stop them all getting tangled up with each other and to encourage more flowers. Several buckets of trimmings later, the plants were neat and tidy and we had earned ourselves a nice cup of tea!

Sessions at Braywick Heath Nurseries are back after a Winter break. The warmer weather means that some of the plants will soon be able to go to the outside sales area. Meanwhile many weeds had taken up residence in the shingles. Anna and Sheila took on the task of removing the pesky plants to make the area look more presentable. Five bags of weeds later, including a couple of run-ins with some nettles, the area had been cleared and looked much tidier. We were pleased with what we had been able to achieve in a couple of hours
