The task for this week was straightforward in what we needed to do but logistically a little more challenging as we needed to spread out in groups across the surrounding area of Glass Mill.

Our task was to complete the health checks of the street trees for living that have been planted in the past couple of years. Armed with a form to submit and for some a device to measure tree trunks whether that being an actual tape measure or a 19cm hand, and a map of what trees we needed to tick off.

We managed to health check over 70 trees which is amazing work! The team at street trees for living are very grateful of our efforts!!

Congratulations to Paul for achieving the dizzy heights of 1,000 good deeds. We look forward to seeing you sporting your 1,000 tshirt soon!

It was time to revisit The Albany and we were following in the footsteps of a group of corporate volunteers who had been helping in the garden during the day.

Our tasks for the eve were either litter picking or digging up the soil around the compost bay to make it more defined area and more level.

We quickly split into teams and once we had all our tools we set off to tackle our tasks for the evening.

There was a lot of shoveling happening around the compost bay and then wheeling the excess soil away. It wasn't long before the brickwork edges of the path were revealed. We're not sure when they were last seen but with GoodGym's help they're now on show.

The rest of the group did a thorough litter pick of the garden. As always, we found a random assortment of items including a glove, a saw, a blanket and plenty of cans and bottles.

Great work everyone!! Next week we are heading to Luxmore Garden to continue weeding the flower beds.
