Celine organised a little crew consisting of herself, Michelle, Rachel and I to tidy up the front and side garden of the Israac Centre. We did a quick little pick at the side avoiding the small rat before tackling the gardens in the front that had got a bit overgrown since Regather last attended. There were some pretty tasty raspberries and a lot of stinging nettles that had made themselves at home which we attacked a long with quite a few dead plants and discarded vape pens. The recycling conscious gardeners separated litter from green waste and we bagged up 4 sacks of garden waste which Michelle and Rachel kindly strapped to their bikes and cycled back to stuff Michelle's green waste bin with. Job well done.
