Report written by Sarah
3 Goodgymmers went to lend a hand at Saffron Acres where todays job was to create an actual beer garden to grow hops and barley. We joined another 2 volunteers to work as a team and it was all hands on deck. The tasks involved compost sieving with a shopping basket, laying a cardboard foundation and depositing the compost. Jimmy and Nick were in their element, loving the outdoors even though it was a little warm, Jimmy was well prepared with his straw hat.
In just over an hour we had created the first row, brilliant start to the beer garden, we can't wait to see it progress like we have seen the Heath allotments thrive, today Jack found me a squash that needed eating along with tomatoes and plums, to celebrate my 100th Good Deed.
Fantastic work team, love the variety at Saffron Acres we never know what we will be up to next, be back again soon.
Several acres of orchards, Heath land , trees and meadows, lots to do a various points of the year e.g. Mulching in winter, fruit picking in Autumn etc
