Herb Your Enthusiasm...
7 GoodGymers made their way to help the St George's Hall in Brighton.

We returned to the welcoming St. Georges Hall in Moulscoomb for another round of weeding. We were meet by task owner Kate, who told us about all the fantastic donations she was receiving from food and cosmetic manufacturers to be part of their Social Supermarket - a supermarket for those who are low income families, where they can buy great produce with dignity and choice.
Tonight's task was a continuation of our previous visit to rid the hall's grounds of weeds that had sprouted in the parking bays and herb garden. With a variety of tools on hand Michael and Rosemary tackled buddleia and other overbearing weeds on one side of the site, with Nancy and Juliet giving the weeds a good seeing to on the other.
Jason and Susan had the unenviable task of identifying the herbs from the weeds in the herb garden which needed a bit of an overhaul to make room for the herbs to grow and be used in community cooking activities.
It was quite the transformation, and great to see the hall in daylight for the first time as our visits to St. Georges typically take place in winter. As always, Kate never likes to see us go empty handed and some Goodgymers ran home with apples and jalapeño sauce! Not that we need much of an incentive to visit St. George's Hall, but there was definitely pleased faces all round!
