Anna, Laura and Sheila helped out at Braywick Heath Nursery. Our first was a logistical one, transferring the plants on display in spacer trays, freeing up the black trays which can be given to customers to take their plants home in. In the course of doing this, Anna found some argyranthemum which were getting quite straggly do she tepotted them and gave them some pea stick supports. We then moved onto some outside work, digging up shrubs which were invading the flower beds from the hedge. This definitely put the 'gym' into Goodgym, and proved to be very hard work, trying to get the mass of roots out of the ground. Laura managed to disturb an ants' nest, and a couple managed to make their way up her leg and give her a nip. Ouch!

Rachel, Laura and Sheila met at Braywick Heath Nurseries, and all wished we had our shorts on, as the temperature is definitely on the up! First task, before it got too hot, was to go through the glasshouses and deadhead the plants and remove any that were struggling. Sheila and Rachel also moved some pots of Alstromeria from the polytunnel to the sales area at the entrance. When that had all been completed we did some hoeing to remove weeds in the gravel in the outside sales area. Another good morning's work!

Fantastic work! I've got Alstromeria on my shopping list. I better get in there quick!

Braywick Heath Nurseries regulars Laura, Rachel and Sheila were joined this week by Jenny for her first ever Goodgym task. Welcome! Our first task was to pot up some mesembryanthemum plug plants which were outgrowing their tray and needed rescuing! We planted a dozen or so into each pot, and left to establish. Before long they will be a riot of colour. Then we moved on to planting up some bulbs and corms which had started to sprout in their packets. We look forward to seeing them once they have grown. Before we left, Ben showed us round the nursery - there have really increased their range of plants, and they are hoping for a bumper Bank Holiday weekend

There are still lots of plug plants at Braywick Heath Nurseries that need planting up into 6-packs, so Laura and Sheila got straight down to business. We filled up several trolleys worth of plants, and Kate took them off to find bench-space for them. The nursery is looking fantastic, with a greater range of plants than ever before, so well worth a visit

Today's task was a hanging basket special! Rachel, Laura and Sheila were using 'speedplanters', ready planted up with colourful mixes of annuals, and dropping them into hanging baskets with extra compost. And it really was speedy - before long we had 46 beautiful hanging baskets ready to be sold After a quick tea break we returned to one of our favourite tasks of planting petunias into 6-packs. A satisfying morning's work

Great work! 💐 I will admire them when I go to Braywick Heath soon to stock up on annuals for my garden.

It was lovely to welcome first-timer Mel to Braywick Heath Nursery this morning, who joined Laura and Sheila for our regular session. There was plenty to be done - the trays of plug plants were all lined up , waiting for us to transplant them, either singly in pots, or in 6- or 12-packs. A satisfying morning's work, with Ben the nursery manager impressed with how much we had achieved. It was great to meet you, Mel, and we hope you will be back when time allows!
