Report written by Yianny (he / him)
The crew was back last night meeting up at Papa's ready to head out and meet Annick and Jean over at the Brixton Allotments.
First up a very warm welcome to Jordan who was joining for her first Group Run with the Lambeth team - great to have you with us Jordan!
Fi joined us and we set off on a nice bright run round to the back of HMP Brixton and then on to the allotments, arriving just our walkers Marie-Noelle and Paul were striding up.
Our tasks this evening were to remove the broken greenhouse which was locked in an embrace with a tree that had grown around it, lots of weeding and clearing, rolling up some old carpet and laying down some new and moving the patio table over to the dancefloor which we had previously helped to lay last year!
By 8pm we had completed all the tasks (surprising our hosts) and were ready to set off but not before Annick had shared a beautiful bunch of forget me nots, some leek and baby kale all pulled straight from the ground and ready to be cooked up that evening.
Huge thanks to all and we look forward to seeing you next time - roll on summer tasks!!
The Friends of Windmill Gardens (FoWG) were formed in 2003 with three aims: * to get the Grade II listed Brixton Windmill restored and opened for public visits – in 2002 it had been put on English Heritage's buildings at risk register; * to make Windmill Gardens park a more welcoming space for local people; * to have a new education centre at the windmill. Windmill Gardens gained a Green Flag Community Award in 2015 and we have just been judged again so our fingers are crossed that we will retain the award for the next two years.
