Turing over a new leaf

Saturday 11th October

Written by Ben Foster

Welcome to Fanette for her first GoodGym Manchester outing! Well done to Uzondu for getting out in the GoodGym red for the first time.

Friends of Sackville Gardens have regular volunteer session on the 2nd Saturday of each month, 10-12, to keep on top of litter, weeding, planting, and other green maintenance. Today we joined in with a group to add to their regular volunteers to help clear leaves 🍃 from the beds and forming a nice heap in one location for it to break down. With traffic pollution and particulates being taken up, they didn't want it getting into the beds to cycle round.

Fanette provided ample support picking up leaves to be wheel barrowed to the drop off, while it looks like Uzondu had a duty of scooping up the large piles.

Busy morning and sorry I had to run for another GoodGym session. Ideally I would have stayed.

(NB There is a wonderful bench statue in the park of Alan Turing)
