John and I met Freddie and some local gardeners to follow up on what was started last week.

We first continued turning over the soil ready to plant some wildflower seeds. Then we got sowing and raking, finishing off by putting a fence around it to keep the dogs at bay.

We look forward to visiting in the new year to see the outcome of our hard work.

John, having run over from Camden, met Laura at the estate. After locating the correct patch of ground and meeting the task owner, we set to work digging up the topsoil and re-locating it to the community compost. We were joined by some helpful local residents. GG is looking forward to returning to help sow the wild seeds and transform this patch of London!

Ed came out to help Alex and a group of residents move the rubble of dirt to create a mound for wildflowers to grow in the future. This was the third part of this task, but Alex reckons another 20 minutes of work between 1-2 people. Other tasks will come around.

We have continued moving the rubble with the help of Jo, Gemma, Olive and Alex. We cleared all the rubbles, topped-up the mound, but it needs a bit more TLC before planting, which would be another mission.

Lindy, Ed, Paulin, and Daryl met up on a sunny Sunday morning to help the residents of Alberta Estate create a wildflower mound in their communal garden. The task involved digging up the top layer of grass and soil (which will be added back to the wildflower mound) from where Alex had marked out. Then we formed two chains to move the larger pieces of rubble to form the base of the mound before topping off with the remaining rubble.

We'll be back on the evening of Thursday 25th May to finish off the task. Sign up for the follow up mission

It was Lily's first GoodGym as she met Daryl, Gemma and Sam from GoodGym at Alberta Communal Garden to trim back and dig up roses and weeds from a bed in the middle of the garden, which will become grass. Alex and Peter were there to help out and supervise the task as we needed a few techniques and guidance to get the rooted plants out.

After an hour of hard work, we managed to get all the roses and almost all weeds out before we raked it over.

We can't wait to go back to help out with some more tasks as the project develops further.
