We were back at the Abundance Garden on Chiswick High Road last night, this time with bulbs and other plants to get into the ground, including some beautiful asters.

It's always a busy spot, with the added challenge of a cycle lane running right alongside us – so there was a bit of bike dodging as we got ourselves organised! First, we cleared away the leaves, grabbed our trowels and got stuck in.

Rosemary, the Abundance organiser, had came armed with a top tip. To stop squirrels digging up all our carefully planted bulbs, she suggested sprinkling curry powder over the freshly planted areas. Not only should it help deter the little bulb raiders, but it also left the whole area smelling delicious!

We managed to cover two beds, getting lots of bulbs and plants into the ground. Come spring, these should bring a splash of colour to this busy urban spot. Planting bulbs and flowers in towns and cities does so much more than brighten things up: they provide valuable food for pollinators such as bees and butterflies, support urban biodiversity, create greener and more welcoming streets and help connect people with nature. A little planting can make a big difference!

We'll have to watch this space come spring to see the results of all that hard work.

And finally, a huge congratulations to Alanna on reaching 100 good deeds! 🎉 Sorry for being a little premature with the celebrations last week, but this time it's official. You've earned your wings, Alanna! We even spotted you sporting a red GoodGym top – don't worry, now you've hit your century you can claim your black one.

Another evening of community action, a little curry powder and a big milestone. Well done everyone! ❤️
