It was great to welcome George to GoodGym Bristol and Brunswick Cemetery, where there was (as ever) a variety of tasks to get our teeth into.

Having started on some deep-rooted weeds on the spiral path whilst I was nearby weeding some of the shrubs that some “helper” had strummed to ground level in early spring, we discovered the heatwave had revealed A METAL EDGE marking the end of the grass and beginning of flowerbed. This was declared VERY EXCITING INDEED and George showed his flexibility by switching to de-grassing the bit we now know should be flowerbed.

Such exciting times, and together with 5 of the Friends of Brunswick, we left a huge pile of brambles, branches and bags of weeds for the Council to collect.

Brilliant to meet you at the community mission, George - here’s to many more!

2 GG ers met St the farm oasis this morning. Its so lovely yo see the farm in full bloom and the abundance all around. We cleared weeds in the beds, discovering wild strawberries underneath nets of bind weed. Also did some plant ID. We were minted by the plants already in our vocabulary and a good sniff of the mint varieties and a lemon balm was sinuslisciously delicious. Then after disposing of the weeds a caffeine intake was done with a joy of summer inthe air🌞
