Report written by Mark Gilyead (he/him)
We had a lovely bunch this evening for a bit of dead-heading and a lot of bindweed removal.
We were in Kennington Park where they've got an inspection for the London In Bloom awards tomorrow so they asked us for a little help making this lovely little oasis even more idyllic!
Sarah, Tim, Gayle and I got to work on some dead-heading of some roses whilst everyone else got deep into the bushes to try to defeat our nemesis (bindweed, obvs). It's gone a bit nuts in recent weeks with the sun and the rain and if it takes hold of a plant it can kill it... so even though it's flowers can sometimes be pretty, it's not a welcome customer.
By the end of our time we'd filled up some huge bags with bindweed - an absolutely cracking job done by all. 👏👏👏
Fancy some more bindweeding?! Join us next Tuesday at Myatt's Fields!
