Improving the community garden for local residents.
Wed 1st Oct at 6:00pm
Tonight we had to split the group in two but we missed being part of a full group!
Helen, Amy, Alan & I did leafletting for Headingley Development Trust. We were promoting both Headingley Greengrocers & the Natural Foodstore. These are community run shops, funded by the Development Fund.
The rest of the group headed up to Rainbow Junction at All Hallows Church. We had a quick jog there, met Jules and Saul and then started working on digging up a hilly patch that they want to turn into tiered veggie plots. We were each armed with a mattock and got digging - it was a great work out. Lauren also had a go on the streamer to clear some of the longer grass - which she said gave her flash backs to earning her pocket money. Then thankfully the sunset reminded us that we should probably be heading again and we jogged back again.
We're looking forward to getting the gang back together next week, but thanks all for chipping in.

...you had to be there for that one!!
Tonight we had a new task & headed up to Shire Oak Primary School to help paint the walls for the new sensory outdoor classroom. We got to work & managed to do all the weeding too. The walls will need another coat, so we're going back in October to finish the job.
Lots of amusing conversations were had with topics including eyebrows, beards, tents blowing away, the US ambassador and comedy writing! Oh and a phoneless chimney sweep...
Thanks for a great evening all :)

Leeds Report written by Helen Noyes
So how do you make sloe gin? Val offered us a quick lesson in making these sour fruits into a delicious drink...just add gin. Who knew! We spent the evening at Bedford Fields working alongside Val doing some serious weeding, pruning, and stripping the strings of bindweed to make strings of fibre for weaving into something or other...basically if you drink enough sloe gin you can do anything! Welcome to Ian on his first task with us, hope to see you again soon.

We are a small charity with limited resources, so jobs like this often fall by the wayside. It helps us to continue to focus on our core work, but also with compost, it means we can have less inputs and save money
