With spring slowly making an appearance it was time for us to head back to Saint Swinthun’s and continue clearing another area of the garden and this time it was the driveway. Welcome Luana to your first GoodGym task - hope we'll see you at another soon!

It might have been damp and a cold wind but that didn’t stop us dedicated GoodGymers, we set about gathering some tools and clearing the weeds and grass. There was a lot of wild garlic and grass and some unexpected surprises including a buried toothbrush and a fancy slug.

Once we’d piled all the weeds at the far end of the driveway, it was time to head our separate ways with a spring in our step knowing we’d had a productive morning!

Saint Swithun's Church Garden Clear Out
Clear out overgrown garden to make it safe

Saint Swithun's Church Garden has been unloved however we are hoping to make it an open space for people to come and enjoy. To make it either a community garden or for people to use for as part of hall hire. It's a wonderful space that can be used to serve the community... But it needs to be cleared. If people do have their own gardening tools that would be ideal.
