Report written by StephDucat
After a community session at GPRA community Hall, Kash, Sevan and Steph Ducat jogged towards their afternoon mission at Mrs N, but stopped for lunch. It was not lunch but a feast : loads of food for a good price - we left the table with some takeaway as it was so massive. The 3 full belly goodgymers needed to burn their huge lunch off!!!We arrived at Mrs N who replied to the ring bell but the 3 were surprised by Mr N from the side who led them to the massive garden where weed were just uninvited guests. Mr N was not only working his day job, but also has been looking after his wife who has had an operation about 2 months ago. Their garden had decided to party and go wild : grass, brambles and weed had taken the garden to the next level! Mr N was already busy in the garden and had several tools available for the Plantastic Voyage that him and the 3 goodgymers were going to experience for 90 minutes. Garden State of Mind was to eliminate the weed, brambles and the grass. Sevan took loppers and secateurs, while Kash took the strimmer which keep wanting attention(strings attached?), Mr N the lawnmower and of Steph took his preferred weapon the scythe. We moved in formation : the scythe first, followed by the strimmer, then the lawnmower and the finishers were the loppers/secateurs. The plantastic Beasts walked all over the uninvited guests - 2 massive bags of greenery were filled. Mr N provided nice ice cold water bottles to all including himself as worked as hard as the goodgymers. We were also told and noticed that the Foxes were coming to party too in the back garden : they will probably be shocked by the changes that happened today in the Garden of Eden-tity, Green Thumbs Up to all four and we are sure Mrs N will be very happy to see her garden
