On Monday we said goodbye to one of our regular Lewisham GoodGymers - Adam! In true GG style, we made him a card full of puns and made sure he had lots of brambles to clear for his last GG task! Adam has done a huge 135 good deeds and has got stuck into all tasks and in all weather. We'll miss you Adam and you're welcome back anytime!

For the task this week it was time to head back to Marsha Phoenix Trust to tackle some of the bigger tasks in the garden including clearing brambles, weeding, pruning and a lot of debate on whether we should mow the lawn or not! Spoiler alert - we did mow the lawn!

We had a visit from the resident cat that likes to show its face whenever we visit the garden. As it was a shorter run we had plenty of time to get all the tasks done and even time for a cup of tea and biscuits (thanks Sue).

We have a regular monthly community mission at Marsha Phoenix Trust, timed conveniently for after Hilly Fields Parkrun - the next one is on 30th September.

With last minute change of plans which changed from Luxmore Gardens to Litter Picking to St Mary's Church - I'm surprised any of us knew where we were off to!

The team gathered outside Glass Mill, making the most of the sunshine, and ready to good in the borough. After a quick warm up we headed off on the 1km run to St Mary's Church.

There's always a variety of tasks at St Mary's Church including clearing alkinet (a GG staple), planting plants in the shady border, watering plants, sweeping paths, sanding benches and sowing seeds. All guided by the lovely people of St Marys Church and expert gardener Sue.

There was just enough time for water and a couple of biscuits before we headed off back to Glass Mill.

Next week we are heading to Marsha Phoenix Trust to help in the garden and we have a post-group run social. Don't forget its a bank holiday so Glass Mill won't be open!
