About this session
How do you build a garden that has to withstand flooding several times a year? Come and find out by joining this session at the Community Garden at Pitchcroft. We'll be digging a bog garden and preparing for the construction of a pergola. We can learn about which plants can cope with being submerged regularly too.
It will be just over a 2km to run each way to the project around the racecourse. There is the option of a 1.5km route too if people want something a bit shorter.
Please meet at The Hive ready to go at 6:30pm
This task supports
Worcester Community Garden is a registered charity running a half acre site on the edge of Pitchcroft, Worcester racecourse. Just as our plants grow organically, so does the garden itself. It evolves and develops thanks to the skills, ideas and enthusiasm that our volunteers bring and the spirit of collaboration and community we all treasure.

Make sure you've read our general guidelines for safety for taking part in a GoodGym session.
This is a GoodGym group run, with the option of walking too. You'll meet other GoodGymers at the start location and run or walk to the task together. If you're worried about any aspect of the session, contact your area activator Marcus Mumford (he/him) by email at marcus@goodgym.org.
Options are available to run between 3km and 5km in total.
Remember that we will be running or walking to and from the task, so you'll only be running or walking for half this distance in one go.
