Another successful session at the Methodist Church garden! On Sunday there is going to be a Sunflower BBQ gathering, so we were put to task in making sure everywhere was looking tip top. There was watering, litter picking, weeding the beds and finishing off painting the gate (which we started last time). There was even some harvesting - potatoes were dug up and sunflower seeds retrieved. We hope lots of fun is had on Sunday!
There’s Method(ist!) to our garden madness!

A large group of us headed to the Martin Way Methodist Church community garden tonight, luckily there is always enough jobs to go around! We weeded, air-rated clay, dead headed, leaf blowed and watered. A group of us also started painting a fence! It was a very productive hour and we are excited to continue the work next month! A big GoodGym welcome to Jerrold who attended his first session this evening, we hope to see you again soon.

Thanks to a swift burst of energy and great coordination, the heavy lifting was completed quickly. The room was fully transformed, and the team was packed up and on their way before the water had time to boil.
Heave ho, it's off to work we go!

A moderate sized group of us managed to do a massive amount of work this evening! The jobs ranged from planting seedlings to removing 2 entire bushes! There was also weeding and creating wigwams to support the tomatoes and beans. Well done one and all!
How does your garden grow?!

A good sized group of us got stuck in at Martin Way Methodist church this evening for our weekly group session.
I’d never seen the garden, so it was a joy to see the oasis out the back of the church.
Abby told us what was what and we divided ourselves into weeding, watering, composting, pruning and moving things! A lot was achieved (including removing a whole bush!) and a lovely evening was had by all.
Potting it mildly
Sunday 12th April
Written by Jade
It was a last minute decision to stop by Martin Way Methodist Church this afternoon, and it turned into a full on workout dealing with a huge lot of oregano and other herbs!
The oregano needed serious digging and dividing, alongside chives, mint, and some hazelnut saplings. The real challenge was the potting-up phase; creating an assembly line to pot everything up before we ran out of compost. Sixty minutes soon became ninety, but we left the church team with a lovely collection of new potted plants, a much tidier bed, and plenty of potential for our next visit.
