Back to help Mrs L with keeping the garden ship shape. After a couple of months, many weeds and self seeded trees had grown and the grass could be waded through, so a thorough chop back was needed 🌱

The secateurs did a good job clipping back the overgrown bushes out the front and pathway, while a combination of a good flymo mower and GoodGym elbow grease dealt with a lot of the long grass, weeds, young trees, and branches, making sure not to disturb the poppy bud seeds!

90 minutes of hard graft was certainly worth it, with the garden and wild flowers now free from the tangled weeds and grass. Mrs L was very happy and I'll be back again, hopefully with some help, to chop back the trees in the backyard 🌳

Welcome to Lucy for your first GoodGym session! 👏

With the Together Trust festival just around the corner, we were entrusted with another big box of advertising leaflets to distribute around some more of the Cheadle streets. Lucy will also be singing as part of a choir at the festival too!

Sian, previous Stockport Area Activator, joined for a sharp run to the high street, before delivering to houses nearby. Great to see some friendly faces!

Our first area, just beyond the main road contained a range of beautiful gardens, with olive trees, lavender, pristine hedges and benches, plus lots of cats! While delivering, we did try and find the secret garden and may have a quick look at Rightmove for nearby house prices...

Next up was Oak Road, with bigger driveways and a few more dogs lurking behind the letterboxes. We certainly covered a few tree species 🌳 in Ash, Acorn, and Chestnut Avenue being covered.

We made a big dent in the box load of leaflets, with another batch set for next week. Likely covering an area nearer Stockport so check the sessions listing for that.
