Report written by Caroline Helder
This was our first session helping Martin Way Methodist Church with their garden project and we had a lovely afternoon for it. Our host Abby showed me some pictures of how far it's come, from a neglected wilderness to an attractive community garden area, but there's still plenty to do in terms of digging, planting, pruning and erecting a greenhouse. We rolled up our sleeves to give one of the benches a fresh coat of oil and to cut back the overgrown laurel tree. A warm welcome to new Merton GoodGym member Steve who joined for his initial task – hopefully the first of many.
