We were back at Robin Hood Garden this week and they had a list of jobs for us and the UCL Volunteers.

We chose to dethatch an area of grass which would be turned into a meadow. With spades, Spikey fork thingy and a pickaxe we got to work and in no time cleared the area. Indi also got to work sawing slats for a beehive (pictured).

Vicky and Peter were grateful for our work and I'm sure we will be back 🙌

Four Goodgymers helped Robin Hood Garden collect rubble which will be used to build wildlife habitats. Welcome new Goodgymer Alice.

The rubble was located in a nearby derelict site which the council said the garden can use, however without a key we had to tunnel under the fence (it felt like we were breaking out of prison, but this time to break into somewhere to collect the rubble).

Before we knew it we have created a rubble collecting assault cause as we created a chain to transport it to the garden. Afterwards we enjoyed some well deserved homemade tea and freshly picked tomatoes!

7 Goodgymmers helped out the Robin Hood Community Garden on this Sunday morning. Welcome new Goodgymmer Jonathan, and all others returning for this task which made a big difference for this community garden oasis.

We swapped around between these physical jobs which included moving rubble from a derelict site to help construct a habitat. Collecting branches and logs to weave into a dead hedge and turning over a compost heap which Jack and Victoria blitzed!

Peter the garden contact was so delighted with our help and we will be back for more tasks. Some of us departed with apples from the orchard and popped to the pub for a well earned drink. 🍻
