We had a lovely amble down the Malago Greenway this morning to the Berry Maze. There, we met the rest of the group who had made their own way there and Barney, who was looking after us today. Barney explained a bit about the history of the Maze to those of the group who had not been before then about our task for the day. They had 500 wild flower plants from the pea and mint families to edge around each of the berry sections. We troweled up and got to work in pairs on each section.

Despite the gusty (40mph?!) winds, creating an extra job of chasing empty plant pots across the maze, in 45 minutes, not only did we plant all 500 wildflowers, we also weeded several other sections (including a Groundforce-esque 10 minute de-weed challenge for Zdeni, Gary and I). We finished off the morning jogged back to town and wished Alex good luck with the Bath Half tomorrow!
