Report written by Laura W
Jer and Laura showed punctuality this morning at the Bath Organic Garden. They had a busy and engaging morning – their first task was to neaten and widen the path through the orchards in preparation for Bath in Bloom. Laura’s attendance was a break from end of year school report writing. She relished the chance to make progress with a hand sickle. Jer further developed his scything skills, whilst clearing the paths around the orchard and should be commended for his perseverance. During the brief tea break, all volunteers continued to build on their social skills. The volunteers returned promptly to work and were excited by the opportunity to take on other tasks. Tim tasked them with pruning the apple trees and vines to promote fruit development. The Goodgymers sets an example of excellence in behaviour and cooperation in this task with Jer pruning the tall branches and Laura working on the lower branches. It was wonderful to see their confidence grow over the morning in new and unfamiliar situations and approaches challenges with a can-do attitude! It was a true pleasure to watch them flourish this morning. There showed true eagerness even staying a few minutes extra until a very heavy downpour dampened their effort. I am very excited to see what the Bath in Bloom judges think of their achievements on the widening of the pathway!
