On a dark and drizzly Sheffield Mon eve we all headed uphill to meet FANTASTIC FRAN who does such a good job helping to keep a lovely area of green space in Heeley in good order and use make it a good place for the community.

The space hosts benches for people to enjoy, various flowers and trees and even some raised beds.

This time around we helped Fran with some litter picking, clearing of the edges of the space that had become overgrown with weeds, tidying up the compost corner and refilling a raised bed with soil.

After even a short spell, the space was looking clearer and much more user friendly.

The photos hardly do it justice, but believe us it looks so much better after our efforts.

Until next time, happy running! :)

It was biblical rain outside, but we didn't let that stop us!

A hilly route up to Heeley was our path to go and help Fran from Heeley Green Community Garden.

We started with some weeding of planters, in preparation for new plants going in.

We made quick work of this and next we set our sights a bit higher to cut back some of the overgrown tree branches to allow more light into this overgrown and dark area of the community garden.

By the time we had done this, the water was seeping in to the skin, but there's only so wet you can get so we ploughed on, continuing to weed the area and prepare it for future plantings.

When we were done the area was looking much more clear and ready for a future task of turning the soil over and planting some bulbs for the future!

Until next time, happy running :)
