Tidy times from Monday maybem

Monday 4th November

Written by Melanie Young (she/her)

Warm and dull, just how we like our autumn mornings when we’re working in the Cemetery!

Tidying up a path junction and the bramble/buttercup/bindweed bound flower bed, a dumpy sack was soon filled with fewer weeds clinging on where they shouldn’t be and lots of chat had been had.

Bringing our own sunshine

Monday 14th October

It may have been a gloomy morning but we brought our own sunshine and chatted away whilst clearing weeds and transplanting young plants to take their place.

Sub-aqua weeding?

Monday 23rd September

Written by Melanie Young (she/her)

The park wasn’t quite underwater so there was time for some weeding and mindful wandering and appreciating the results of all the work so far this year.

Blue Sky Banishing Bindweed

Monday 16th September

Written by Melanie Young (she/her)

We turned our attention to a triangular bed that was away from other park users on a busy day in Brunswick Cemetery - the sun had brought everyone out to enjoy the lovely space we contribute to.

Brambles, bindweed and branches (the latter left by some commercial clearing without our tidying up skills) plus lots of Jerusalem Sage that’s spread too well in this bed, plus attempt 2 at cutting back the huge thistle, all in glorious sunshine.

The time flew by, then it was off to The Canteen for more chat and lovely lunch.

Tuesday 3rd September

Written by Melanie Young (she/her)

A beautiful summer's evening for our last daylight group run this year to Brunswick Cemetery.

After the mental challenge if folding dumpy sacks so they take up less space, came the physical task of path clearing and bramble bashing. The rain before a dry day meant pretty much perfect weather for clearing weeds, and even a pretty big sycamore sapling was liberated from the ground.

After tidying up, The Stable was the venue for GoodGym Eats and a game to try to name the famous Bristolians in the Last Supper style mural.

A great night and a short report as I have a monster headache/migraine.

Wet weeding to bring sunshine

Monday 2nd September

Written by Melanie Young (she/her)

Refusing to be raised off, an hour of weeding and re-siting baby alchemila mollis plants from the path to a freshly weeded edge where they may be competing with the HUGE amount of buttercup thriving in the beds between the graves - we can try!
