Thursday 6:15pm is GoodGym Windsor Night! ๐๐โโ๏ธ๐๐ปโโ๏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 thickensโฆ ๐งโ๐พ
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 ๐งโ๐พ
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 ๐งโ๐พ it all to the required area with budding ๐งโ๐พ enthusiasm. They were not going to throw in the trowel ๐งโ๐พ
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 ๐งโ๐พ and all the planters were completed! We did it just in thyme ๐งโ๐พ
After the task we added a quick Windsor curtsy and bow ๐ and made our way home.
Thank you to everyone for coming you certainly got your work out tonight ๐ช๐ปa very hardy bunch ๐งโ๐พ of GGs ๐๐๐ปโโ๏ธ๐โโ๏ธ
