Thursday 6:15pm is GoodGym Windsor Night! ๐Ÿ‘‘๐Ÿƒโ€โ™‚๏ธ๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ

Tonight we went back to help The Friends of Windsor Girls School with setting up their new allotment area. This will be used by the gardening club for the pupils and so the vegetable plot thickensโ€ฆ ๐Ÿง‘โ€๐ŸŒพ

This was a community mission so we met at the The Binoy. Jen went ahead walking and Bekah and Mandy ran. Adam met us at the task.

Task owner Julie was waiting for us and gave Adam, Jen, Bekah and Mandy the brief. As expected Julie had everything totally organised and helped us lots during the task which helped us power through to complete the job. Whatever she says grows ๐Ÿง‘โ€๐ŸŒพ

There was a pile of loose topsoil to move to the other side of the school. So Adam took that job on initially by filling containers to then trolley round.

Meanwhile Jen filled the planting boxes with cardboard as a base layer while Bekah and Mandy carried round the bagged topsoil from the front of the school.

The cardboard needed watering down so there were lots of trips to the tap.

Adam and Mandy got more topsoil and made plenty of trips transplanting ๐Ÿง‘โ€๐ŸŒพ it all to the required area with budding ๐Ÿง‘โ€๐ŸŒพ enthusiasm. They were not going to throw in the trowel ๐Ÿง‘โ€๐ŸŒพ

Then it was spreading the shredded Christmas tree which on top of the cardboard. This smelled amazing.

Then we could finally get all that topsoil on that we had collected.

We could see it was growing well ๐Ÿง‘โ€๐ŸŒพ and all the planters were completed! We did it just in thyme ๐Ÿง‘โ€๐ŸŒพ

After the task we added a quick Windsor curtsy and bow ๐Ÿ‘‘ and made our way home.

Thank you to everyone for coming you certainly got your work out tonight ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿปa very hardy bunch ๐Ÿง‘โ€๐ŸŒพ of GGs ๐Ÿ‘‘๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™‚๏ธ
