High Speed Pot and Weed
2 GoodGymers made their way to help an isolated older person in Lewisham.
- Saturday, 8th of September 2018
Here's what Mr V of SE6 had to say about the mission:
Ms V wanted to pass on her thanks to the 'very pleasant' runners who did a 'very good job' in her garden over the weekend. Nicely done!
We turned up at Ms V’s expecting a relatively quick task, as she just needed help weeding her plant pots. Little did we know there would be approximately 1,000 of them!
Ms V talked us through what needed doing, and we soon got to work weeding, deadheading marigolds, rearranging pots, sweeping, and clearing up a mountain of dead twigs. We learned a lot from Ms V who loves her garden and is very knowledgeable.
Even working as quickly as we could, a supposedly easy task soon turned into a marathon 3 hour gardening session, but we had a lovely time chatting away to Ms V and the time flew by.
