Anna, Rosie, Rachel and Sheila helped out at Braywick Plant Nurseries. Dead-heading was the order of the day, taking any old material off the perennials to make them look nice and encourage more growth and flowers to come through. Four bucketfuls later we had worked our way round the front sales area, and all the plants looked lovely. And we had all selected which plants we would like in our gardens!

Anna and Sheila helped out at Braywick Plant Nursery today. Our task was to snap off all the dead flower stalks from the pelargoniums to encourage new flowers and make them look great. By the end of the session they were all looking lovely, and we had loaded as many as possible into trays (coloured-grouped to satisfy our need for order), ready to moved once Kate and Ben have decided where to put them.

Anna, Laura and Sheila helped out at Braywick Heath Nursery. Our first was a logistical one, transferring the plants on display in spacer trays, freeing up the black trays which can be given to customers to take their plants home in. In the course of doing this, Anna found some argyranthemum which were getting quite straggly do she tepotted them and gave them some pea stick supports. We then moved onto some outside work, digging up shrubs which were invading the flower beds from the hedge. This definitely put the 'gym' into Goodgym, and proved to be very hard work, trying to get the mass of roots out of the ground. Laura managed to disturb an ants' nest, and a couple managed to make their way up her leg and give her a nip. Ouch!

Anna and Sheila met at Braywick Heath Nurseries on a rather damp morning. There were several trays of pelargoniums which had outgrown their pots and needed potting on into larger ones It's our favourite job, so we spent a happy couple of hours or so potting them up. 230 plants later, we called it a day, satisfied with our morning's work

Rachel, Laura and Sheila met at Braywick Heath Nurseries, and all wished we had our shorts on, as the temperature is definitely on the up! First task, before it got too hot, was to go through the glasshouses and deadhead the plants and remove any that were struggling. Sheila and Rachel also moved some pots of Alstromeria from the polytunnel to the sales area at the entrance. When that had all been completed we did some hoeing to remove weeds in the gravel in the outside sales area. Another good morning's work!

Braywick Heath Nurseries regulars Laura, Rachel and Sheila were joined this week by Jenny for her first ever Goodgym task. Welcome! Our first task was to pot up some mesembryanthemum plug plants which were outgrowing their tray and needed rescuing! We planted a dozen or so into each pot, and left to establish. Before long they will be a riot of colour. Then we moved on to planting up some bulbs and corms which had started to sprout in their packets. We look forward to seeing them once they have grown. Before we left, Ben showed us round the nursery - there have really increased their range of plants, and they are hoping for a bumper Bank Holiday weekend
