As a patch of the Memorial Garden was looking bare and the saplings were struggling a different approach is being trialled using donated trees. The instructions included digging big holes, breaking through the clay layer with a big pole, adding various soil improvers (compost, rabbit poo, egg shells & biochar), tucking the trees in with a layer of mulch, hammering stakes & attaching recycled guards. There were lovely sounds of laughter and chatter as the glorious GoodGymers got on with the task alongside some Treemendous folk.

The session ended admiring Lucy's pond and Leanne educating us in Kula hygiene aids over hot drinks & cakes.
