Thursday morning started an hour earlier than usual at Charlton House Garden, with the gardening session moved forward in anticipation of the hottest day, with temperatures expected to reach a scorching 36°C!

The main task was watering, making sure the plants had some much-needed hydration before the heat really kicked in.

I had the pleasure of doing a bit of teasel sculpting — carefully removing the thorny leaves while keeping the teasels standing tall and proud in the garden. With so few plants flowering in this intense heat, the teasels were definitely allowed to Teasel the Day and take centre stage!

It was a shorter session than usual, but certainly a sweaty one! Between the watering, gardening and the rising temperature, I definitely worked up a sweat.

Phew! A little TLC for the garden, a bit of teasel sculpting, and plenty of sunshine — another GoodGym session done! 💪

Whoever’s joining this Tuesday’s session, please sign up and see you there! 😊 Cecilia D🍀
