Great turnout last night - because it's Cat's last task before she moves home, and we all wanted to say a proper nice thanks and bye. So ten of us were at the task in Betts Park 'secret garden' - some of us after a nice gentle jog.

The secret garden has undergone a huge transformation just in the last few months - from brambly overgrown side-bit to the park, to now something cleared, pretty and with potential. We could see the path started, wood and plants cleared, a pond being dug, and raised beds being planned.

We set about a range of tasks, from raking to weeding, to moving and sorting plants already cleared, starting to build the wood supports for the raised beds, and laying paving slabs for the path with will bed in gently at first and then when it settles, relaid more solidly.

After task time that as usual went too quickly (we'll be back!) we walked towards Anerley for a little drink and chat to say bye to Cat. Thanks for all your work with GoodGym Crystal Palace and its taskforce and good luck in your new home :)
