Waterlow Park + 1 Wildflower Mount(ain)!!

Saturday 15th March

Written by Alex Murtough (he/him)

This wonderful group - 11 in number - brought GoodGym to the Mount(ain) today!

I must admit my ignorance.

Until this morning, I (mistakenly) believed that London was a mount(ain)-free city.

I knew about hills (like the fearsome incline between Chalk Farm and the Gail's in Belsize Park), but I knew nothing about mount(ain)s.

This all changed when we arrived at the gorgeous Waterlow Park.

I had thought (again, mistakenly) we were there to tend a wildflower mound, but apparently it is more than a mound - it is a mount(ain).............

.........anyway!

This lovely group - Caitlin, Emilie, Emily, Karen, Kathleen, Khai, Mike, Natalia, Sally, and Steve - painted an active, social, and fun picture of community today ☺️

Guided by April, our brilliant host from Friends of Waterlow Park, we cut bucket-load (upon bucket-load upon bucket-load) of dried grass from the mount, leaving it well-pruned ahead of yellow rattle being sewn over the coming weeks. The hope (🤞) is that the mount will bloom this summer, and we will be back to see if it does!

Thank you, everyone, for your work and company - you made for such a fabulous morning!!
