Last night we headed back down to Thorlands Gardens to meet Simon and carry on the mammoth task of taking the work forward there.

We had a smaller group with AA Yianny meeting Ben and Tilly at Papa's and Michael making his was directly to the task. After a very pleasant conversation espousing the wonderful decade that was the 80s we set off on the 2ish km run down to Thorlands.

Simon was running a bit late so we didn't have long but with the 20 minute window available we headed over to the community garden grabbing a wheelbarrow full of tools, a few large cardboard boxes and we were ready to shovel the clay and woodchip mix onto the cardboard beds.

We split up the boxes, laid them as Simon directed then covered them over so that the foxes couldn't see the edges and destroy them and tidied some of the rubbish that we found.

Big thanks to all for the work and the great conversation and see you all next time! :0)
