Tis the season to meander through woods. A gloriously clear day to be out at the top of Nover Hill. We scythe through from the steps to a side lane. The sheep path is now open to go through.

Raking news just coming in….
Three goodgymers met this morning to transform a patch of ground into a haven for wildflowers and diversity. Let’s go over to our roving reporter Richard for more.
Richard: Thanks Gary. It’s a warm one.
Thanks Richard. Informative as always. After the patch was cleared using scythes and rakes it was then scarified 👻. Finally the seeds were spread and watered. Hopefully in the next year the area will transform into a sea of colour and life.
Until next time…

Cameron and I dug some very rough turf up so we could plant new wildflower seeds ready for the next years growing.

We welcomed Cosmo from Bath this session, who wanted to see what GG was like a few miles westward. Everyone did a fantastic job scything and clearing litter. Quite the the haul this time!

A mixture of jobs today. The first, helping to lay a gravel path by making a bit of a gulley then filling with the gravel. Will hopefully be less muddy now for people wanting to use it. The second was continuing cutting back vegetation from the railings up the steps and litter picking. At the end the edges were looking pretty impressive.
Great to be out in the sunshine again :)
Until next time…
