It was another week of double tasks which means we can help more wonderful organisations in our borough - it's fantastic that there was enough of us to tackle both tasks!

One of our tasks was to continue the painting and sanding at Enable Warm Hub, soon this will be a cosy welcoming space. Don't forget there's community missions there everyday this week in case you have a spare hour and fancy continuing the painting.

Our other task for the evening was to head over the The Albany to tackle the weeds in the vegetable patch but there was the usual confusion of what is a weed and what is a plant that may grow back in the spring/summer. We managed to identify sage, mint and lemonbalm and removed some of the surrounding weeds along with a lot of litter!

The second group at The Albany tackled the litter in the garden which always has a lot of litter that blows in from the surrounding streets. We also had a visit from a friendly neighbourhood fox!

Next week is a slightly longer run to PNK Garden, we'll aim to set off promptly so we can maximise the time spent at the task.
