It was another lovely summer evening at Marlpit Community Gardens.

The main take was to do some weeding around the vegetable patches.

We were kindly treated to some red lettuces.

We visited Wensum Park again to continue the work we started last week.

We finished clearing the 12 star sign flower beds. Some needed old roots digging out, lavender cut back, stones removing and some just a complete turnover of the soil.

They are now pretty much ready to be planted.

Well done everyone, we'll have to return later in the year to see how it has flourished over the summer.

307 people attended a cool, drizzly parkrun today, starting their weekend in a positive, healthy, motivating way. well done everyone.

The rain didn't put us off helping to continue the amazing Mile X community garden project on Burges Road last night.

The tasks we had to do were leveling out and laying down a wooden border for a new accessible path, while half of the group weeded another area.

It was my first visit there for a while, so it was great to see the progress been made from local volunteers and GoodGym.

We soaked to the bone by time we finished but it was well worth it.
