Clematis and cherry clearout!
5 GoodGymers made their way to help the Friends of Ham Lands in Richmond.

Another Saturday = another trip to the glorious green space that is Ham Lands. This one saw Rosie, Adam, Chris and Sam tackling aggressively-growing clematis about 100m in from the path along Riverside Drive. While it can be enjoyed in small, carefully grown quantities, clematis is a fast-growing climbing plant which either takes support from the vegetation or trees that it climbs, or spreads as thick ground cover, taking over large areas and out-competing many species - credit Dynamic Dunescapes for the description.
Meanwhile Sabina, on her first task with GoodGym, tackled offshoots from a nearby cherry tree (aka suckers).
After about 90 minutes of gardening in topsy turvy weather we'd earned a coffee and snack from the marvellous Swiss Bakery.
