From our occasional meeting point at the Peace Statue, it was a short and sweet 300m trek for seven Brightonian GoodGymers to Waterloo Street Community Garden, including newbie Chris - welcome!
Once there, we got stuck into some enthusiastic bulb planting, putting down the groundwork now for a colourful spring display.
We had a friendly black cat keeping a close eye on proceedings. But further investigation revealed that said cat is the reason the garden doesn’t have any bird feeders: our feline friend enjoys playing with them (the local birds, that is, not the feeding devices).
With all the bulbs planted across big pots, little pots, round pots and long pots, it was time to head to nearby Bottoms Rest for a well-earned drink, post-run recovery and a chit chat.
What a purr-fect evening.
The Friends of Waterloo Street Community Garden is an association which was set up to renovate our Community Garden following essential demolition work last year. It's an ongoing project which seeks to organically garden an urban area so that friends, neighbours and visitors have somewhere to both relax and congregate - the space is also used for community events.
