This evening the task was split between two sites. Eliie, Chris, Finn and Wilson finished a few jobs at the planters, starting with a quick litter pick and then cutting back bigger stems and pulling out more of the wild garlic bulbs.

Sarah and Helen went with Holly to the little orchard at the end of the road. This is an area that was popular with fly tipping and Holly a member of the local resident association asked the council if they could adopt it as part of the wilder scheme. It is now a lovely small green space and we were on hand to give it a good weeding and a dig over.

And why the title??? Lovely Helen ran to the task and got stung by a bee on the way..... and a large fluffy bumble bee was buzzing about the orchard whilst we were trying to weed, and Wilson also unexpectedly but proudly got to wear a 350 good deed cape.... can you beeelieve it!

Writing to help support this wonderful movement of helping to tidy up the overgrown planters in nearby neighbourhood. Chris was wonderfully slashing and snipping, motivating me to join in with the eviction of unwanted plants alongside a productive team of GGers. Rosemary galore was collected and some felt like making bread or even roasting lamb. Sadly some original plants were damaged in the session of the ‘slash and burn’ and we hope they forgive this unfortunate error. The new opportunity of growth and natural light may provide them with a new lease of life.

We missed not seeing our fellow GG'er Hannah this evening, but her absence meant that there was some exciting news! Our first little GG baby has arrived - Congratulations Hannah, we look forward to meeting little Orla (AKA Wilson Junior) soon!

We also had some singing to do for Sarah's big birthday - Happy Birthday Sarah! Flowers beautifully presented by Ellie...presumably with the hand that hadnt been stabbed by a cocktail stick....twice.

It was lovely to meet Emily and we look forward to returning in two weeks time!
