I arrived a littler later at the task to find Rebecca and Kaz at work, fixing up a bed by covering it with straw. After which, Rebecca had done her time at Thorlands and had to leave.
Kaz and I then started working on another, larger bed. We forked the soil and filled in holes which a fox had left, and then finished up covering with straw.
Following the completion of this task, we moved over to the forest garden, laid down cardboard and covered over with leaf mold.
That was the work for today. As always, there's plenty of work to be done at Thorlands

The first Camberwell market garden in over fifty years
Thorlands Gardens is a food growing club based on an east Lambeth housing estate, in Camberwell. There was a shared vision to move forward with a zero miles food project on unused and unloved brownfield spaces. There was an understanding that residents of all ages could volunteer simply for the value that experience gives to individual wellbeing. There is also the added bonus of sharing the fruits of the labour, which in this case is healthy produce, such as vegetables, salads, herbs, and edible flowers.
