We had a bumper turnout for group run - not sure if it was due to the sunshine, the painting task or talk of pineapple! We celebrated David's parkrun PB, Barbara's season's best and Carl's good for age time, then warmed up and discussed chocolate bars we didn't like. I wasn't there but am firmly in the anti snickers camp!

Once we arrived at Park Grove, we swiftly got into groups and started work. A small team continued the willow weaving, another small group worked on the blackboards and another clearing up the mud kitchen. This still left a good crew to paint the fence.

There was lots to do but because of our big numbers we raced through and left the area nicely spruced up!

We then had time to test out the new fitness dice. Carl put the group to shame by being the last one going when burpees to failure was rolled!

It was then back yo back until next time!

Along with Ian from Treemendous, and Miki, Becca, Alistair and I finished off the weeding between the trees, which are looking beautiful, leafy and tall. One of them is even taller than me! We also took turns to level some of the lumpy ground from various excavations to make the path around the forest easier to use. Finally, some of our dogwood is already big enough to need a bit of pruning, to level the growing field with the other, slower growing trees.

Fabulous Good Friday fun at the Tiny Forest as the remarkable Yorkie GoodGymers descended en masse to tend the trees. The saplings have reached their first anniversary and are looking good. Buds have unravelled revealing fresh lush leaves. Wildlife is moving in & today's spots included frog, mouse, kestrel & pretty iridescent bugs. After some light weeding, mulching, mound moving & trough filling the chatter & banter continued around the picnic table. Wonderful work everyone tending tiny trees for the future.
