Another successful session at Brixton Windmill where we did a whole selection of jobs!
- Dom (a goodgym newbie 🙌) and Matt headed off to the shade to dig up a selection of berry bushes as there were too many.
- Karen and Esse set to work weeding around the children’s play area.
- Sam and I trimmed a bush (that was not home to any birds) to make it look a bit tidier.
- Esse and Sam uncovered the bottom of some small trees ready to be fed.
After a bit more than an hour in the sun we headed off home, or in Sam’s case mission no3 of the day 🚀

A little bit of history in central Brixton!
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.
