GG visited Mr C today to help with preparing a space for a new path in his garden. The weather was truly great (such a nice surprise after an extremely rainy Wednesday!) and very encouraging so we started the work really quickly and vigorously.

The garden was already in a nice shape (the results of few previous GG runs could not have remained unnoticed) but the path is Mr C's new project. He hopes to put down it by himself but needed a bit of help with more strenuous tasks involved. We were digging and lifting the soil together, removing grass and deweeding. From time to time Mr C was checking (with a great diligence) and re-shaping the line to ensure there is just enough space for the perfect path curves he designed.

Right at the end, as a cherry on a cake, we did some cosmetic weeding and in the garden, beautifying a space for i.e. Mr C's gorgeous tomato plants.

Mr C was very pleased with the results and felt really encouraged to contact GG again if he ever needs help in his garden. Go GG!
