March 1st brought with it some much welcome sunshine, so it was with a spring in our step that 5 GoodGym-ers met Tim and Edna at the Community Garden in Charlton's Maryon Park for today's task. We were soon busy with cleaning the greenhouse (cue power washing!) as well as carting wheelbarrels-worth of matured leaf mulch to be spread over the growing areas. Cleaning up the entrance path, clearing moss growth and other deposits was our last task, before a lovely chat with a cup of tea and cookies to end our session. The garden is looking lovely with freshly sprouting daffodils & crocuses. You'll also be welcomed by the unmissable aroma of wild garlic. A great start to the month.

Thanks to all involved and Happy GoodGym Anniversary to Marta!
