Sunny Saturday we joined Marilyn at Canbury Community Garden to help with a few chores. Taking on the dreaded bindweeds, doing general weeding around the vegetable beds, topping up the compost heap with the weeds we shredded. and giving the garden a good soak with water fetched from the river. The team filled all the garden containers with more river water ready for the coming weeks whilst keeping an eye on the chicken trying to make a run for it.

Canbury community garden opened in 2016 and very soon after they introduced the first flock of hens.

Today 4 of us met to sort out and hang clothes ready to be brought to raise funds for this branch and ultimately funds for the British Heart Foundations Research. We even got to pretend to be models for the day, Did we succeed?

Theodore and Petra met Brian at Hogsmill to attend to the ever growing hedges along the perimeter of the garden. Hedge cutters on borrowed battery time, shears that have seen better days but GG grit and enthusiasm is not to be defeated. Brian told us all about their open day on Saturday which went well and I am happy that we play small but regular part in keeping this piece of Kingston gem going. See you in October.

Great to attend our regular task with Brian at Hogsmill. Sabir, Theodhore and Petra used variety of tools the get the hedge under control, making it look nice and neat, in line with the fence. Rachel & Dave took to moving the compost heaps around under Brian's watchful eye. Weather was on our side allowing us to have a little sit down in the sun in the end, munching on fresh pistachios kindly shared with us by Sabir.
