There was so much to do at Brixton Windmill today. 15 runners turned up to help Jean and the other Friends of Brixton Windmill. We all started with some serious hoeing of the playground, getting the grass out from around the swings and slides. After about half an hour the playground was looking pretty good so some of us started clearing leaves from the veg patch, making space for some new fruit bushes. We also did a bit of mulching, more hoeing, compost and woodchip spreading, a bit more hoeing and before we knew it the park was looking fantastic and it was time for us to leave. Great work, Jean from friends of Brixton Windmill was really happy with everything we got done.

A little bit of history in central Brixton!
The Friends of Windmill Gardens (FoWG) were formed in 2003 with three aims: * to get the Grade II listed Brixton Windmill restored and opened for public visits โ in 2002 it had been put on English Heritage's buildings at risk register; * to make Windmill Gardens park a more welcoming space for local people; * to have a new education centre at the windmill. Windmill Gardens gained a Green Flag Community Award in 2015 and we have just been judged again so our fingers are crossed that we will retain the award for the next two years.
