The long hot summer continues which is making life hard for trees and plants in parks all around the city, none more so than Fort Royal. All the young trees need a good drink at least once a week at the moment so GoodGym were brought in to get the wet stuff to where it's needed. What we lacked in numbers we made up for with enthusiasm as Natalie and Marcus pushed barrows full of water containers all over the park to be emptied on to the grateful trees. The most important recipient being a relation of the famous liberty oak that was visited by Thomas Jefferson. It wasn't just the trees that needed a drink so Karen from Fort Royal Rangers kept us hydrated too before thanking us for a job well done. We'll back for more in a few weeks unless we get some rain.
