Laura, Ed and I all arrived on a lovely sunny day to help plant bulbs along the path and edge of the recreation ground. Plenty of community members wanted to get involved too! No actual tribulations were encountered. We managed to plant out a lot of bulbs and are looking forward to go back and see the results of work in spring!

Kelly, Mark and I met at the obelisk in Betts park for a spot of bulb planting on Saturday morning. And what a pleasant time we had!

We experimented with a few areas around the park - which we will monitor in Spring to see where is best for bulb growth!

Highlight for me was mark finding a strange carrot looking plant! If Anyone can identify id be interested to know what it is!

Back at Beckenham Green, and as we head into autumn fallen leaves were starting to stack up. With 4 GoodGymers ready to roll, we were assigned sweeping duty, and we hurtled through it 👊

First Leaonie and I collected the debris by the fence near the M&S corner, with Kelly starting work near the planters and joined by Ria. We then all moved up to the planters and brought the leaves down to our big pile, which was thrown behind the fence into the nature trail to start rotting down and provide good food for the plants there.

Having smashed that out in 50 minutes, we proceeded to remove some weeds from the planters and help install some wanted, propagated plants to fill in the gaps.

A lovely team and a fun task - thanks for making it a great start to the weekend 🎉
