Getting there
For this session we're going to meet at the task, so you'll need to make your own way there. We encourage you to walk, run, or cycle to do so!
About this session
For this session we'll be joining the Friends of Oxleas Woods for a gardening session in the surrounding woodlands. These volunteer sessions are open to local people who want to help care for the woods and are usually suitable for beginners and no special experience is needed.
Gardening sessions are focused on maintaining areas inside Oxleas Woods, especially the historic gardens and other planted spaces. This week we will be clearing weeds from the terrace/fountain area, as well as weeding the beds.
Please bring some gloves if you have any, but they should have spares if not and tools will be provided.
The friends of group will be staying for two hours but come for as long as you want. We've listed this as 1.5 hours but it's fine if you can't stay for the full time!
The meeting point is Jackwood Garden and the what-three-words location is ///orchestra.assets.labs
Here are the directions from the entrance via Crown Woods Lane:
1. Follow the lane until it splits and take the r/h lane towards the Oxleas centre.
2. Go past the Centre and continue along the lane.
3. At the point where it splits, continue to the right and walk on a few hundred yards and you will see the garden

What to look out for
Make sure you've read our general guidelines for safety for taking part in a GoodGym session.
This is a GoodGym community mission. When we're doing a community mission we make our own way to the task, so you can choose to walk, run, or cycle. Thinking of cycling - check out our FAQs
This session is organised by your Taskforce, a group of experienced GoodGym members in your area. They are not responsible for your safety. You should feel confident to participate in the session as it is described and you do so at your own risk.
