It was another lovely summer evening at Marlpit Community Gardens.

The main take was to do some weeding around the vegetable patches.

We were kindly treated to some red lettuces.

It couldn't have been a more tranquil evening, as we visited Marlpit Community Gardens as the sun started to lower and the cattle grazing in the adjacent field.

We had a tough task on our hands as we started to make inroads to move a pile of bark to the other end of the gardens (about 200 metres away).

There were 7-8 wheelbarrows and it was a grueling task of shoveling the bark into the barrows and transporting them before unloading.

Liz discovered a Toad in the pile of bark, which was then safely transferred to the pond area.

On a lovely spring morning, 9 GoodGymers, 2 Vision Norfolk volunteers and 1 enthusiastic puppy took on the challenge of shifting 6 tonnes of soil - that’s the weight of 1 elephant or about 12 horses. Armed with jaunty wheelbarrows, we transported the soil across Marlpit Community Gardens into Vision Norfolk’s three newly built raised planters. Thanks to everyone’s hard work, the planters are now ready to grow a mix of potatoes, seasonal vegetables, and fresh salad. A warm welcome to Wayne, who joined us for his first mission!

This evening saw us return to Marlpit Community Garden on a lovely calm summer evening.

The team split into two group. Group 1 were clearing weeds from around the fruit trees, and Group 2 were clearing a vegetable plot.

At the end if the evening we were kindly invited to take some rhubarb, redcurrants and gooseberries.

Tonight we visited the lovely Marlpit Community Gardens, on what was a rather chilly June evening. The 4.5km run there sure warmed us up a little though!

During the winter they had cut back lots of willow trees, so our task was to collect the branches and transport them to an area where they could be stood up so they don't rot. So basically a lot of lifting was required... we definitely got our strength training in.

It task was quite a long distance this evening (4.25km each way!) so we got a good workout just getting to and from the task.

We returned the tranquil Marlpit Community Gardens for the first time this year.

There was two task: 1) turn over compost. 2) clear an overgrown garden bed.

Before we new it, the team were forking and shoveling until their heart's content. The task owner said it would have taken him a week to do it on his own.
