There was plenty of Friends of Volunteers getting on with various pruning, weeding and hacking back tasks. I helped clear lots of marjoram from the main flower bed and rather than compost it all I decided to drop a large bag off to Pipers Artisan Sausages to see if he could use it. Also seabuckthorne fruits are out now.

We joined Friends of Parkwood Springs in their monthly community volunteer day in the Forest Garden. Spring had really sprung. Gooseberries, goji berries, wild garlic, violets and fig trees were all planted. Bind weed was weeded out and a crowded plum tree was pruned. Cups of tea and lots of expert advice from Tim. Lovely morning!

Two GGers, Caroline and Rachel headed up once again to the lovely forest garden at Parkwood Springs.
I'm always amazed at how much I can learn with Goodgym. We learnt:
Lovely spot, lovely people, lovely snacks! We'll be back again soon

Two goodgymers joined the dedicated Friends of Parkwood Springs in the permaculture garden to prune the fruit trees and blackcurrant bushes.
We should see the “fruit” of our labour this summer!
It’s not all hard work though as we always break for hot drinks and homemade bakes; this time we were serenaded by 2 robins establishing their territory with bird song.
What a gorgeous place!

One Goodgymer joined Friends of Parkwood springs on a glorious summer's day to prune apple trees and weed the permaculture garden. The recent rains and sunshine had really got everything growing at a fast pace! It wasn't all work though as we could sample the sea buckthorn berries, the hemerocallis flowers, the blackberries and raspberries! We will be back in September to see how the mushroom bed that had been inoculated earlier this year will be getting on!
