Ready, bed-y, grow!
4 GoodGymers made their way to help the Friends of Kennington Park in Lambeth.

On a grey but mild Sunday afternoon, four GoodGymers joined the Friends of Kennington Park in the beautiful award-winning Old English Garden to do some gardening.
Our task was to tidy up some of the flower beds in the centre of the garden by taking out any loose leaves, sticks and dead plants, taking care not to uproot the new plants that were pushing their way through, or to stand on anything growing.
We got to work and were soon filling up large bags with unwanted weeds and plants, which we then helped to empty onto the compost pile.
From the Friends we learnt that you can replant the broken plants that have growth - and also that unripe green figs are good for making fig syrup!
They were pleased with the progress we (and they!) had made and commented that it looked much better than earlier in the day.
