Ms J had asked for help to get her garden cleared of weeds so she could get out in the sunshine and use her table and chairs.

Some of the weeds had got to 5ft high and it was lovely to clear them so she had a nice view out of her window. I even found some flowers peaking beneath the grass including bluebells and some calendula under her silver birch tree. She really appreciated the help in being able to make the most of her garden again

On a sunny Saturday morning 8 Goodgymers helped the Friends of James Stuart Garden to prepare to welcome new visitors as the greenspace opens its doors as part of Norwich Community Garden Festival. We cleared some weeds to make space for some new planting and removed some brambles that were starting to creep in. We were also treated to a cuppa and a biscuit after our digging efforts.

Four Goodgymer’s turned out to support Friends of Anderson’s Meadow to plant 10 fruit and nut trees. This included almond trees, apricot and a walnut. Watered in with water from the river else look forward to seeing them thrive amongst the daffodils.
