Despite a weather forecast suggesting we would have a wet task 16 Goodgymers met under dry skies with Friends of St James Gardens.

Our task was to clear the area around Huskissons monument. it's a large paved area that had become a growing space for a large amount of weeds in between the slabs.

We welcomed Abi who is from Climate Coalition who came to join in and find out more about Goodgym Liverpool for Great Green Week.

It was such a lovely atmosphere with so many people working together. Plenty of opportunities to chat as we worked which is always a plus (in this report writers opinion). Michael from Friends Of St James Park also kept us entertained with his vast collection of jokes.

One of the great things about our tasks is that you see such great results in just an hour. Many hands really do make light work. The difference between the start and finish surprised us all. We still have a bit to finish so will be back next week to finish the task.


This task supported
Friends of St James’ Gardens
A group of local volunteer's who work to preserve and maintain these historic gardens for the enjoyment of all, now and in the future.

This project will focus on increasing the spread of our snowdrop meadow. In the last two weeks of the season we will be digging and redistributing the snowdrop bulbs to create an even more magnificent display next Spring! 😍 This combined with litter picking and general tidying around the cemetery gardens.
