What a very berry good task to do!
2 GoodGymers made their way to help the Global Gardens Project in Cardiff.
- Saturday, 6th of August 2022
- Led by Michael
On a warm Saturday, Michael and Ellen met at the Global Gardens project, to help them with their community garden work. The task was an old firm favourite (?) of clearing brambles. And were there a lot of brambles! There were tall ones, short ones, long ones, old ones and new ones. And ALL of them had thorns, so it was not an easy task. They toiled under the hot sun for 1.5 hours (although Michael had to leave a bit early for another fun visit - to the dentist!). But in that time they cleared about a 4m squared patch of brambles - leaving the other flowering weeds for the bees and butterflies. In the process, they uncovered some fruit trees planted last year, a raspberry cane amongst the blackberries and a pile of logs which could be a home for a hedgehog - so left that undisturbed. So despite the thorns, it was a very berry good task to do on a lovely Saturday!
