Great weather this Saturday for chopping back the overgrowth in preparation for winter.

We had Sophie join us as they wanted to learn how to scythe. However I think we may have been hustled , as they took too it like a natural.

Before we knew it, time was up and we had cleared back loads of brambles!

Back again next month!

Tis the season to meander through woods. A gloriously clear day to be out at the top of Nover Hill. We scythe through from the steps to a side lane. The sheep path is now open to go through.

Raking news just coming in….

Three goodgymers met this morning to transform a patch of ground into a haven for wildflowers and diversity. Let’s go over to our roving reporter Richard for more.

Richard: Thanks Gary. It’s a warm one.

Thanks Richard. Informative as always. After the patch was cleared using scythes and rakes it was then scarified 👻. Finally the seeds were spread and watered. Hopefully in the next year the area will transform into a sea of colour and life.

Until next time…

Cameron and I dug some very rough turf up so we could plant new wildflower seeds ready for the next years growing.

Andy and I made a huge clearance of the weeds using scythes

We welcomed Cosmo from Bath this session, who wanted to see what GG was like a few miles westward. Everyone did a fantastic job scything and clearing litter. Quite the the haul this time!
