We helped Fawcett Road Greening Group fill 2 big planters in a forecourt with herbs and small plants. First we layered them with compost bags, then put in a few stones and pieces of cardboard for drainage, followed by the soil, the mesh and then finally the plants were popped in and tucked in with more soil.

Then we moved onto a nearby pub where an area had been depaved ready for us. We dug a deep hole and then carefully planted a beautiful baby Jasmine which Julie was looking after.

3 big trellises were then drilled onto the wall.

It was lovely to chat with the other volunteers and we enjoyed delicious hot drinks, mince pies and brownies!

Noone likes to be in hospital, especially over christmas! Sadly that is how some people will spend the festive season.

So GG linked up with Sophies Legacy to send some little joy to those unable to celebrate at home.

Bella the dog was very kind to allow the octopus to go and out a smile on someone else's face, knowing she has a brand new bed to enjoy.

Great work team, some awesome presents collected!

We enjoyed buying presents to the Hive for care home residents!

A lovely mild morning stroll around Kingston Rec provided a load of rubbish!

We completed a full circuit of the park and couldn't fit any more litter away.

There were 6 socks (inc an actual pair!), although I don't think Santa will be round to fill them just yet! A pair of pants, 1 Croc shoe and a lovely Nike jacket found on our travels. A sprig of Holly added to the festive feel!

A couple of vapes and a lighter for someone still kicking it old school.

Our awesome mini-GGer let us know when it was time to stop and head off in search of lunch!!
