Bill from Edible York was delighted to have the help of seven Goodgymmers to weed between the fruit trees at Alex Lyon house
Andy took GoodGym's advice to arrive at tasks by the power of his legs very seriously and cycled all the way from Northallerton, saving himself an £11 train fare in the process!
We chatted happily as we weeded, about topics as varied as DIY beer festivals, VAT and burnt eggs. After 90 minutes, everything was looking a lot neater. And we saw a bee 🐝
This task supported
Supports City residents to grow more, harvest more and enjoy more fresh fruit and vegetables, as well as encouraging the local food market.
In this instance Edible York has organised an attractive orchard space for residents of Alex Lyons House to enjoy - both the fruit trees and the plums, apples, and pears they produce.
