Congratulations to Andy for completing his 50th Good Deed this evening! I will do my best to locate the glamorous rosette for the next task!

We managed to complete two Good Deeds in just 90 minutes this evening, with both a leaflet drop for Fratton Community Centre and some planting and litter picking for Make.

The dry conditions over the past few weeks made the soil in the Make garden difficult to turn over, but Jane's trips to and from the pub next door to fill up our water bottles helped soften things a bit.

With a bit of team work and a few different approaches, we managed to uproot a very dense but very dead plant, and replace him with some donated geraniums, petunias and begonias. The area was already looking much better after some other supporters of Make had been planting, but hopefully the last little corner will be looking lovely and bright as our donations bloom.


This task supported
