Seedy Saturday part 3
3 GoodGymers made their way to help the Russell Square Gardens in Camden.
- Saturday, 10th of October 2020
- Led by Ben
Beth, Claudia and Lici joined the Russell Square community gardening volunteers for another spot of sowing grass seeds (aka feeding the very spoiled pigeons of Russell Square). GoodGym has been helping the local volunteers with weekly tasks since August, helping to rake away fallen leaves that have killed the grass, planting seeds and trying to plant bulbs. The weather may be getting cooler, but as always, the gardening session warmed our hearts - a great opportunity for people from different backgrounds to come together and do something for their local community.
There will be another bulb-planting session next week, so watch out for the community mission listing. There are 10,000 bulbs to plant and the ground is a lot softer than on the last attempt, thanks to the recent rain. One of the photos (courtesy of David) shows the bulbs planted by the volunteers last November, which bloomed during lockdown - something to look forward to as we head into winter again.
