After a full walk-through and briefing, we got stuck into cleaning off various boxes. However, a big job was to rescue and re-sort the rubbish and recycling as things were a little out of control, with wrong items in wrong bins, so this took a good chunk of our time to get everything back in order. Despite the unexpected sorting challenge, we left The Fridge looking much tidier and a promise for more training and an extra session to be arranged.

Helped katie weed and re-plant the prairie garden along with Alyson from good gym, and a few other helpers who turned up. We stayed about 90mins , about half of which was spent weeding and then planting some new plants and grasses that were donated by merton council . It was both enjoyable and sociable , and the weather was perfect. One member of the public came and thanked us for improving the area and told us how much she enjoyed the community garden.

We had a perfect sunny afternoon for our second session at this community garden. It was great to see Jo and Steve again and we soon got stuck into some much-needed weeding around the beds and along the borders. The church is hosting its summer fair next weekend and so our efforts helped to make everything look shipshape. Oh, and we managed not to get too distracted by Toffee, the adorable pup.
