6 GoodGym-ers gathered at Maryon Park Community Garden on this gloriously sunny May morning for today's task.

After a quick catch up, Tim & Edna briefed us on our tasks for the day: (syca) more weeding, in various areas around the garden, "turning" the contents of one of the compost bins, and pruning away some plant overgrowth affecting the fences on one the side of the area. 

Shovels, Spades, gloves and hedge trimmers at the ready, we got to work & with the encouragement of a family of red red Robins bobbing along.

A constructive hour or so passed, several trugs of weeds were added to the newly turned, rather fragrant compost bin, and we were rewarded with a very welcome tea break ☕️

Thanks all & have a great rest of the weekend!
