Alex from the Forest School welcomed us to our Saturday task. We quickly got on with removing bind weed from the fence around the school. We untangled it from as far as we could reach all the way to the ground incl digging up the roots and raking the bits away. Job well done. Welcome to Suparna on her first mission.

In various areas around kingston, over the weekend 4 of us dropped off items for the food bank.

As the heat wave ☀️continued 3 hardy GoodGymers armed with water bottles and lots of energy got to work.

Weeding 🌱and leaf 🍁 clearing were first on the agenda before Julie and Emily headed off to the mulch 🍂pile for two wheel barrow loads. It was hot work shovelling the pile of decaying woodchip and leaves.

We decided to plant a few new plants 🌾 and after much deliberation on their position and digging some very dry soil we got them in.

This was followed by giving everything a very good water 💦. Our water collection from the river entertained a few park users and gave us very soggy trainers 👟 which soon dried in the sun☀️ .

With everything watered 💦we spread the mulch with Claire and Emily gathering another two barrow loads and then it was time to pack up until next time.

Fingers crossed for some rain ☔️
