After meeting the Friends of Kennington Park team already at work in the ornamental garden, we were led across to the other side of the park for our task. As usual the team needed some help with weeds, thistles and one of our favourites, bind weed.

A quick welcome to our two first timers Jason and Deni who got stuck in with the thistles straight away. Before long, the thistles were all being worked on and we had extra hands, so some of us moved on to the bindweed.

The thistles were fully eradicated, unfortunately we couldn't same for the bindweed which never ends, but we did manage 3 sacks of it.

Friends of Kennington Park were absolutely thrilled to have had us for 90 mins, much longer than usual, and they can't wait to have us back!
