we were back this evening to tackle the planter we had made a start on a few weeks ago. At last attendance we had managed to clear a small corner and thought we may manage the same this time. That was before super Steph got to work with the rake - hacking out stacks of virginia creeper which made it easier for the rest of us to lop and chop. It looked so satisfying i had to give it a go! We managed to hack back nearly the whole planter which is huge! We are looking forward to coming back again to clear the last bits and start digging out the brambles

Before the main session this evening a few of us gathered to help clear the local area of surrounding rubbish. We decided to stay in the naturally lit area outside buzz bingo an area which gathers alot of rubbish. Wilson found a never ending hole of rubbish including a very cute reversible friend! Tarek and Ellie did a fab job as well and kept spirits high debating the complexities of litter picking and also bingo! We gathered three bags of rubbish which was a good haul.

A small group of goodgymers came together this evening to help clear an extremely overgrown planter in a local retirement complex.

We have started off by hacking back as much of the brambles on the bottom corner as possible trying to expose as much as we can before we eventually start digging into and removing root structures so wildflowers can be planted.

It was a nice chatty session with lots of thorns to battle but we look forward to coming back soon.
