Report written by Tom Mutton (he/him)
We brought a real CAN do attitude to our task last night.
It was an uphill journey with some real unique city sites along the way!
On a hot and humid Sheffield eve some sensible GG folk decided to meet us at the task due to the hills, heat, injury or other and the rest of us slogged it up the hill from The Showroom to Arbourthorne primary school to meet Angela at this fantastic garden space used at the school.
The order of the eve was all about watering the trees and plants on site as everything was sooooo dry!
It was a great task with a very definitive aim of getting as much water onto the plants as possible in the time we had. We used watering cans and water harvesting tanks as well as hoses to get as much water into the plants as possible as they were looking very dry.
We were rewarded in our efforts by Angela who provided biscuits and water at the end before we headed back to The Showroom for a stretch off. Celine even went blackberry picking on her way home!
Until next week, happy running :)
We grow food for our families as well teaching children and parents the importance of growing and how it helps physically and helps our contribution to sustainable living.
