GoodGym returned to Ms A’s garden for round two — a follow-up to our earlier mission to reclaim the space from a thick tangle of brambles and vines.

With gloves on and sleeves down, we got to work clearing the last of the thorny overgrowth that had taken over the 105-square-metre garden. Bit by bit, the remaining thickets gave way to open ground, making the space feel lighter and more manageable.

By the end, all the brambles were gone, leaving just a few piles of leaves for our final visit. One more session and Ms A’s garden will be fully clear, safe, and ready to enjoy again.

Hi GoodGym... Now we have managed to cut down all the weeds is it possible to get the roots of the Elderberry dug up?
