On a sunny bank holiday five GGers met at Doddington roof garden to help move an enormous number of plants that had been donated by Chelsea Flower Show up to the community space.

It was off the back of a huge success for Doddington and its volunteers at the show, who won gold for their exhibition - a sanctuary garden. And very well deserved it was too!

The sheer number of plants to move was incredible, and along with the new pizza oven, swing and other fabulous elements are going to transform the community garden even more.

After a good stint up and down the stairs the next job was the tackle putting up the huge new sign to welcome people to the garden. It took a lot of preparation, discussion and planning - and the rising wind added an extra challenge - but we soon managed to get the sign in place. This was thanks to a lot of muscle, Edress' rope, Malissa's vision and Steve directing from the ground. Plus a few very sturdy knots!

Some of us were even treated with ice cream as a reward while the rest trotted back to the BAC. Great work everybody! Next week we're be back at Doddington for our usual monthly session at the garden. Have a great week everybody!
