Five Good Gym-ers in red t-shirts, and a few hundred angry ants also wearing red met up at the Dry Arch, Middle Ground Growers this weekend to clear weeds, slugs and earth around promising new tree saplings in the Tree Nursery buried at the very back of the community allotment.

Emily K, Meyrick, Art, Holly, myself and Zoe from the More Trees BANES charity gloved up and crawled on hands and knees in between the trees to remove (a specific type of weed I have clean forgotten) pesky overgrowth that was putting the new saplings future at risk! Very dramatic.

A lovely morning up a windy hill, with an equally lovely view over Bath, definitely worth a visit!
