A small but mighty group headed up and over the hills to Seniors to tackle the big tasks in the garden. Our visits mean that the Gardening Team don't have to be turning the compost or digging the vegetable beds.

We ran and cycled over to Seniors to be greeted by Alice and team who needed our help with the compost, planting sweetcorn and tomatoes, planting a herb garden and watering the garden.

We got stuck into it and before long Oli was an expert at planting plants following Alice's process and even managed to not get any of the stinky but nutrient dense alkinet "tea" on him.

After some confusion with the hosepipe and lawnmower, it was time to down tools and pick up our mode of transport for the group photo. Once we were assembled and multiple photos taken it was time to bid our farewells.

Some of us tackled the hills to Glass Mill and one of us enjoyed the down hill cycle to Catford...
