Bathed in glorious sunshine, Compton Terrace Gardens looked rather nice on Saturday morning - apart from those pesky weeds! The small, scrubby plants dominated the growing areas, starving all the nice ones of goodness, and generally making the place look a mess.

Agata joined me from Hackney and within two and a half hours we'd filled four green bags and a wheelbarrow. There was also time for some planting. And we had a nice chat.

Join us next month, and see if we can help the Gardens get among the medals for Islington In Bloom 2024.

Six GoodGymers arrived on this sunny Saturday morning to help clear an unusable allotment bed which was covered with ivy, random objects and deep roots.

We cleared the whole bed making a big difference and it looked as good as new! Ready for growing and it will help with biodiversity in the area.

We also uncovered a forgotten bench and found time to give it a bit of a spruce up.

Five were seen digging this morning...

...nestled behind Kilburn's residential streets, in a St Cuthbert's gorgeous communal green space, five well-meaning souls were seen chatting, laughing, and digging this morning.

Agatha and Will (on their first good-deeds, congrats!!) joined Steve, Pulin, and Alex, and we spent two and a half hours digging a trench for timber, laying timber, and announcing a new enclosed and sunken flower bed, ripe and ready for filling and growing :)

Thank you, all, for your time and work this morning. It was a joy to share the morning with you, and we made a real difference to the space, especially as we step towards the warm and spring!

See you at the next one!!
