Find out about GoodGym TaskForce
Report written by Wilson
Nine of us headed to Aldermoor Farm yesterday, with a surprise addition to the team! Beth, who we normally help out at Rose Road, decided to join us as a GoodGym member! It took Wilson a moment to work out why she was standing at Aldermoor Farm rather than Rose Road - doesnt take much to confuse.
Our main task was tackling the notoriously overgrown hedge. We've cut it back many times before, but this time it had really got out of hand. Six members of the team attacked it from both sides and did an incredible job, although I suspect there are a few aching arms today after such a serious workout.
Meanwhile, Beth joined Sarah on the onion bed for some much-needed weeding, carefully untangling the ever-persistent bindweed.
Wilson also got stuck in, cutting back several other overgrown bushes by the pond.
By the end of the session, we could take a group photo by the hedge which wouldn't have been possible before we started!
Epic work team - thankyou
ldermoor Community Farm was started in 2014 as business owned by its members – a co-operative. This was a great way to start, but in 2020 we transitioned to become a charity and now benefit from being a project of Alder Trust. Not only do we now have the financial benefits of being a charity, but we are part of a larger organisation, a local charity with similar values and goals. We benefit from a wider governing body and from basic admin support, giving us more energy to focus on our work on the land.
