Five hardy GoodGymers cycled and walked to Kingston Edible Forest to help Brian with a few jobs. After a guided tour, we grabbed forks and spades to cut round five trees that have been allocated as street trees. Cutting through the roots now will make it so much easier to dig out and move the trees when they are ready to be transported in the next year or so. All of these trees have been offered to the residents of Kingston as street trees which is a generous offer.

After completing the first task, we refueled with a delicious hot cross bun - thanks Brian!

Then we hacked back brambles to help another set of saplings have more room and light. This should help them mature and grow stronger.

Brian then insisted we take some rhubarb, mint, chard and leeks that smell of garlic. We left laded with delicious gifts talking of recipes for crumble and soup.

Welcome to Tim on his first mission. Lovely to meet you and thank you for your help today.
