After a week off due to Sam's holiday, we were back at Thorlands to help out Simon.

We had the pleasure of having Lizzie and Claudia come to their first session at Thorlands and first good deed with GoodGym for a few years.

We gathered the tools needed to do the task at hand, which was to dig up a 60 centrimetre width and 30 centrimetre deep trench. Yet, we had to learn the hard way. We dug up the trench near the terrace and found out it was quite rocky, so Simon decided to change the location of the trench.

We decided to dig up a trench where we had mulch the soil and Tracey went off to choose 10 tree saplings. A mixture of cherry, fern and hazel were chosen.

Nathan dug up smaller holes for us, which we watered before planting the tree saplings. We managed to plant 10 trees/scrubs in the hour and a half, which went by quickly due to some good tunes, great company and a hard workout.
