This afternoon we were back at Sidcup station, helping prepare flower beds for planting in the run up to the Britain in Bloom judging in July 🌼.

A couple of weeks ago we cleared a large plot next to the ticket hall. Today we turned our trowels to two very overgrown brick planters on the pavement.

Luckily the soil was nice and soft so the weeds mostly came up easily - roots and all. However some were a bit more stubborn and it took some determined heaving to extract them! (No need for a session at the gym this evening 💪.)

In just an hour we were super happy with the transformation.

Thank you to Mick, Heather and Sheila for coming along to chat to us about GoodGym while doing your own litter pick, and Mick for staying to give us a hand 🫶.

We're likely to be taking on more tasks to help get Sidcup looking blooming good over the coming weeks, so watch this space!

This was our monthly visit to Parkview Care Home.

After meeting up with Andy we headed out to the garden area. There was lots of watering to be done as everything was very dry. We also needed to remove a build up of moss from the pathway.

Some of the residents came out to give us a helping hand! It was a great workout trying to scrub the moss off and satisfying to see the difference!

A big thank you to everyone who turned up! A great effort by all!
