Two Goodgymmers gathered on a dry cold day to help the amazing volunteers at Finchley Memorial Hospital's community garden spread compost on their raised beds and do a bit of weeding. It was great to see Richard cycling up to the garden and getting stuck in to a mission - the first he has been able to attend in a while.
The existing volunteers mostly comprise retired nurses and local volunteers, all with amazing histories of working in the hospital, and a passion for gardening. Many of the plants there were grown from seed or cuttings in volunteers own gardens, while others were donated through the Finchley Pollinators, who we helped sow the tinymeadow last year.
The compost arrived somewhat late, so we helped to weed last year's a maize bed in preparation for bean planting. Then it was all hands on deck to carry the compost and mulch from the van to the beds, and started spreading.
We did a great job, but the compost ran out before we could cover the last bed and a half, so we'll be back next week to finish things up and spread the mulch.

Our help maintaining the garden will in turn help the garden to keep nurturing positive mental health for patients and staff.
