July should herald the start of the hottest, most sultry ‘dog days’ of summer but today was more of a ‘duck day’ with grey skies and drizzle. However our GoodGym Richmond sponsored Plots in Buccleuch Gardens are looking pretty lush thanks to the cool temperatures, the rain and tonight’s brilliant gardening work by Sam, Kate, Chris, Monica, Steph and Anita

The Monday Group Run tasks focused around The Arcade Rockery and whilst it seemed a rather laid-back mission, we achieved loads:

Dead-heading vast amounts of stachys (lambs ears) to encourage a second flowering. Building-up one of the ‘twiggy barricades’ that had sunk down(these discourage people from stomping on the beds …. and also create wildlife habitats). Relocating a huge rush and planting a Japanese anemone in its place. Weeding. Edging part of the lawn

Thanks to Sam for leading the Group Run, including back to the Tap Tavern for our monthly Social .
