Today's task was passed on to GoodGym through the Hampshire and Isle of Wight Wildlife Trust and involved laying the (literal) groundwork for a new wild flower beach garden in a neglected area of St Jude's Church yard.

Thanks to Ellie's before and after pictures you are able to see all of the weeds, grass and animal carcasses (!) we dug up to make space for some new wild flowers. Helped by Andy from HIWWT and two lovely volunteers from the church, many hands made light work of what seemed a very daunting task!

The volunteers from St Jude's were overwhelmed with the work our team achieved today - hopefully we'll be back soon to finish the job!
