Re-Potty Training the Plants of Brockley
2 GoodGymers made their way to help an isolated older person in Lewisham.
- Saturday, 15th of April 2017
On a smashing, sunny Saturday afternoon Kim and David met in a lovely leafy street in Brockley. This name is thought to derive from 'Broca's woodland clearing', in old English for badger's wood or brook by a wood.
Our mission was to help Ms J in her garden to re-pot a number of plants, move things around, compost, water and tidy up. Ms J is not as mobile as she would like and needed a hand in the garden which she shares with the three other flats in her beautiful house. She was all prepared for our visit with fresh compost, big pots and lots of crock and a clear picture of how her plants needed space to grow.
Ms J was so appreciative of the help given and the difference this makes to her and her home environment. Kim and David really enjoyed the peace and tranquility of this well established garden and the satisfaction in helping improve it for the well loved, burgeoning pot plants.
