Camden Report written by Alex Murtough (he/him)
Hidden behind a nook - somewhere just north of Camden Town - is a secret garden called Adelaide.
A door that's inconspicuous. A sign that's easily passed. And rows of houses that disguise the scale of what's inside...
...it was our first time visiting Adelaide Community Garden this Wednesday, and as we walked (and walked (and walked)) through this special sanctuary, we were all left wondering: "does this garden have an end?"
Which it did, and which we were all thankful for. Especially as our task, as the light fell, involved scooting up and down the full length of Adelaide's pathways.
This wonderful group - Emily, Gosia, Helen (on their first GG good deed - welcome!!!), Jackie, John, Nivia, Sarah, Siobhan, and Steve - made a huge difference this week!
Our task was to distribute a total of 200 sacks of (freshly delivered) soil and fertiliser - in piles of 7 sacks - to specific named plots.
Cue wheelbarrows ferrying, sacks aloft shoulders, and trolleys busying - and all amidst shouts of plot-owners' names - "I have 2 manures for Marie!" - "can anyone see Brian's, I have 3 sacks of fertiliser!" - etc!!
As night truly landed, our happy group finished this mammoth task. It made a big difference, and it was an evening filled with fun, connection, and teamwork!!
Here's to next time!!

Greenwich Report written by Rachel Henry
And so this week, ten of us met for another task at James Wolfe Primary School!
There were 5 steps to this task and our merry group proved our mettle by getting it all done with lots of detective work.
Step one: Treasure hunt to find the pictures of items that needed to be moved to different locations in the playground Step two: Roll all the tyres across the playground and up some steps Step two: Move all the crates Step three: Locate and move all of the piping and giant cable wheels Step four: Move a very heavy metal bench Step 5: Do a litter pick and general tidy up
The result? All the items were moved to the correct place (we hope) and the playground was a little tidier and cleaner.
Well done team and thanks for mucking in as always.
Next week we're back at Glyndon with a Woolwich start. Don't forget our green chain walk on the 6th April!
Until next time.
