All Saints Church in New Eltham has a lot of grounds that take a lot of caring for, so they run a regular volunteering session on the first Saturday of each month.

In particular they are trying to restore the Peace Garden and the Memorial Garden which have become rather overgrown. So we are going to lend a hand, joining their regular volunteers to help make a difference.

I have just been contacted by Neal from All Saints Church about Saturday's gardening session. He says thank you for signing up, but with a heavy heart he is cancelling the session because the soil in the flowerbeds is baked so solid that he doesn't think its fair to ask people to try and dig out the weeds.

Hopefully there will have been some rain by the time of the next session in September - if you'd like to sign up for that the listing is [here](https://www.goodgym.org/happenings/gardening-at-all-saints-new-eltham-8ce8baa5-470f-4af1-aff1-c3147a5534af).

As an alternative for Saturday morning, GoodGym Greenwich have a task at [Maryon Park Community Garden](https://www.goodgym.org/happenings/helping-at-maryon-park-community-garden-0d55c624-f398-4e5f-baf9-a32379d64e36). Johnny and I will be going so perhaps we'll see you there!
