Ten of us braved the rain to spend an hour at Brixton Windmill on Saturday helping with a variety of jobs.

Shout out to Dottie and Benjamin who were at their first Goodgym missions 🙌

We split into three groups for 3 different tasks: 1. planting vegetable seedlings including cabbage and spring onions in the vegetable patch 2. planting hyacinth and daffodil bulbs alongside the windmill which will look lovely in the spring 3. cutting back brambles at the front of the park and a spot of litter picking

After nearly an hour we were done and headed off home. Hope to see everyone again soon!

Brixton Windmill
A little bit of history in central Brixton!

The Friends of Windmill Gardens (FoWG) were formed in 2003 with three aims: * to get the Grade II listed Brixton Windmill restored and opened for public visits – in 2002 it had been put on English Heritage's buildings at risk register; * to make Windmill Gardens park a more welcoming space for local people; * to have a new education centre at the windmill. Windmill Gardens gained a Green Flag Community Award in 2015 and we have just been judged again so our fingers are crossed that we will retain the award for the next two years.
