Another week, another crew of Lambeth legends lacing up for good! ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™‚๏ธ We set off from Papa's and ran to Windmill Gardens, where the weeds had clearly been plotting a takeover. ๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ˜ฑ

Our heroes Ben, Michael, Jo (who led the session โค) Dan, Fi, Tilly (who baked!), Rich, RJ and Adam rolled up their sleeves and got stuck in. ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿผ There was weeding (we really got to the root of the problem ๐Ÿชด), manual work (we nailed it ๐Ÿ”จ), and general sprucing (we left the place looking trashy in the best possible way ๐Ÿ—‘๏ธโœจ).

Special shoutout to Dan, who dug so deep we think he found Australia. ๐Ÿฆ˜ Fi and Jo tackled the tasks like they owed them money ๐Ÿ’ธ, and Ben, Michael and Adam had to share a teeny tiny pumpkin which didn't turn into a carriage. ๐Ÿงฐ

Hats off to the whole team for being absolutely un-fork-gettable. ๐Ÿด๐ŸŒป Waterworks allotments is looking thyme-lessly gorgeous, and the community will love it! โค๏ธ

Same time next week? We'll be there, ready to turnip and make a difference! ๐Ÿฅ•๐Ÿ˜‰

Brixton Windmill
A little bit of history in central Brixton!

The Friends of Windmill Gardens (FoWG) were formed in 2003 with three aims: * to get the Grade II listed Brixton Windmill restored and opened for public visits โ€“ in 2002 it had been put on English Heritage's buildings at risk register; * to make Windmill Gardens park a more welcoming space for local people; * to have a new education centre at the windmill. Windmill Gardens gained a Green Flag Community Award in 2015 and we have just been judged again so our fingers are crossed that we will retain the award for the next two years.
