Merton Report written by Clare Riddiford
2 large bags filled by 3 Good Gymers picking up all the litter left on paths to Deen city farm. Great to remove plastic and bottles harming the wildlife

Tonight, we returned to Mostyn Gardens in Merton Park to create a new border for the external bed (an area we previously helped clear of weeds).
Some of us were tasked with digging a trench. Thankfully (or maybe not, given the resulting mud! 😉), the weather had softened the ground (improved further by the downpour while we were mid-task!) making it fairly soft and easy for our spades to make an impression.
With wheelbarrows at the ready, a couple of the team log-ged some serious miles collecting the wood for the border, piling it up ready to be staked into the ground.
For those seeking a slightly lighter task, there was also some pruning of the plum trees to be done - perfect for branching out from the rain! Handy that we came prepared with our secateurs.
Once the trenches were dug, it was all hands needed to fill them with logs and replace the (by now) mud.
It was good to welcome a couple of GoodGymers from out of the area and also Mik to his first task - not the easiest or the driest, but hopefully enjoyable nonetheless.
We got even more done than anticipated and are certainly helping this garden grow into something very special!

Alex and Jade lent a hand at Merton's Community Fridge after work for a much-needed clean-up. It was a bit chaotic with plenty of the usual sorting and tidying, and unfortunately, quite a bit of food waste to weigh and dispose of, but we powered through supporting the other new volunteers and got the job done!

Merton’s Community Fridge redistributes surplus food from local businesses and food growers, ultimately stopping tonnes of good quality food from going to waste.
