Another good session with loads of vegetables and herbs to harvest, and picnic lunch in the shade of the Mulberry Tree.

We had a lovely and productive morning at the Mulberry Tree Community Garden.

There was plenty to get stuck into around the garden. We did some weeding and tidying, worked on the vegetable beds and harvested a fantastic crop of potatoes. It was very satisfying to see two trays full by the end! 🥔

We also helped look after the other vegetables growing in the garden, including peppers and some impressive pumpkins.

After all the hard work, we had time to enjoy some food together and have a good chat. It was a really friendly session and great to see everyone working together to keep this lovely community garden thriving.

Thanks everyone for a brilliant morning! 🌱💚

Great harvests. Rain needed - maybe the next few days will help

I really enjoyed volunteering at the Mulberry Tree Community Garden. I joined the session at around 10:30 and stayed until 12:00. I helped with weeding, cutting the grass and tidying up the garden. Although I had limited time, I was happy to contribute and work alongside the other volunteers. It was a great experience, and I hope to join again in the future. Thank you everyone!

This morning's gardening session started an hour earlier than normal to try and beat the baking hot heat. Not much luck on that front - by the time we downed tools at 11am it was already well above 30C and still climbing. Not surprisingly watering was a big part of today's session - for plants and volunteers. Lunch under the mulberry tree was cancelled - we did all leave with a large harvest bag - lettuce, purple sprouting broccoli, courgette, cucumber and herbs - -and before we left we indulged in a lemon meringue pie, baked and brought by one of the team!

Four Goodgymers joined other volunteers at the Mulberry Tree Community Garden. A full task list kept us busy and it didn't feel long for the two hours of gardening to have passed and time for lunch in the shade. Shout out to Ky, Amy, Asan who joined Mark at the garden.
