Report written by Daryl Shaw (he/him)

Today at Surrey Docks Farm involved lots of pruning. We started off with pruning back a willow arch (the same one that we tackled back at the start of 2023). We stripped off the leaves from the bigger stems so these can be used for other things (useful for fences, edging, and tying things together) and saved the smaller ones for the goats.

Undeterred by the rain, we headed towards the river to continue pruning before James gave us a tour of the farm (feeding the goats and sheep on the way round).

Is there some sort of GoodGym Snap / Bingo badge for when two report writers use the same report title on the same day?! There should be!
