Our group run took us to Boscombe this evening to help out at the community garden near St Clement's Church run and organised by Grounded Enterprises. A beautiful vegetable garden that provides food for the local community and learning opportunity to the schools in the area.

It was great to have Carole come along and join us for her first group run and she was brilliant! Give her a big cheer here! See you next week!!

After being away for like ever it was also great to have David come and hang out with us again! We hope you don't leave it as long next time!

We arrived right on time to meet Mike who got us moving some old surf boards out of the way, along with astro turf, doors, pallets, and old tires! Some of the group got stuck rearranging all the junk behind one of the polytunnels, moving surf boards and pots out of the way to make sure it would all fit nicely and safely!!

At the same time the other half of the team were rolling logs out on the alleyway between the garden and the school to make the area look more woodlandy and inviting for the school children that walk through.

At the same time the shack on site was being used for a community support group, so lots of positive things were taking place at the same time. Lots and lots of positive energy flowing in that garden...which is probably why everything tasted so delicious when Mike let the group taste some lemon cucumber, sugar snaps, amaranth shoots, and lots of different edible flowers too! Amazing and all organically grown. Can't wait to have my own garden!!

After getting the job done we had to get back on time to make sure we could get our bags our of Flirt on time...they have started to close at 8pm now...and i've heard rumours they may be closing, so start keeping en eye out for new start locations!

Well done everyone! See you all next week!
