Find out about GoodGym TaskForce
Report written by Girija Tase
We were very excited to be back at Surrey Docks Farm for the second time this year.
We were split into three groups. One group cleared out the goats' area. Another watered vegetable patches. The third transported manure to the relatively new river garden.
Many eager goodgym hands made light work of the first two tasks and we soon moved to the river garden. At the river garden we helped turn the manure that the third group had transported in with the soil.
We took it in turns to shovel manure from the very large heap and wheelbarrow-ing it to the garden.
The sun was shining gloriously and we got to see our goat, donkey, sheep and pig friends. A great afternoon all in all.
Surrey Docks Farm is run by a charity and provides education for school children, young people and adults with learning difficulties. Our work helps with essential maintenance and helps them keep the farm operating.
