Bright and early, it was a sunny and chilly morning.

I, and the rest of the gardens volunteers took on roles to mulch and clear paths from the encroaching ivy.

My task today was simple: Aggressively hammer at and remove some stubborn posts.

And to finish up there was a little bit of the standard laying woodchip on paths. We'll be back next week for more PLRN TLC

On this lovely Saturday morning with blue skies and a crisp air, GoodGym Lambeth teamed up with Tom and his local community gardening group to firstly clear ivy and weeds from around the pond, followed by one group cutting back brambles and the other, cutting back ivy to expose a lovely brick wall! We then carried all our weeds and cuttings to a compost heap and helped Tom store away the tools. All in all a very active and helpful morning!

This was the usual Saturday morning task at PRNG.

This week we focused on clearing rubbish and weeds from two beds opposite the nature gardens. We then topped them with used coffee grounds which had been provided by the nearby cafe.

It was a wet Saturday morning. I confirmed with Tom that we'd meet despite the rain. Hardy 💪

On this session I was joined by Emma who made her return to Goodgym - mission 2 in the bag 🙌

The two of us and a few other of the Nature Garden volunteers worked at weeding an area if the park. We cleared brambles and bindweed which had taken over over summer. Clearing the growth we managed to find a newt - which confirms there is still pond life around!

We've made an impact over the last few weeks and the Gardens are looking transformed in the areas weve touched.

Join us next week 🗓

Tracy and I were at Palace Road Nature Gardens, this week sanding some of the benches and sealing them with oil. They were in need of a bit of love after a few years of sun and rain on them.
