It was a wet Saturday morning. I confirmed with Tom that we'd meet despite the rain. Hardy 💪
On this session I was joined by Emma who made her return to Goodgym - mission 2 in the bag 🙌
The two of us and a few other of the Nature Garden volunteers worked at weeding an area if the park. We cleared brambles and bindweed which had taken over over summer. Clearing the growth we managed to find a newt - which confirms there is still pond life around!
We've made an impact over the last few weeks and the Gardens are looking transformed in the areas weve touched.
Join us next week 🗓

A wild oasis in Streatham
This small nature garden was created in the 1980s. It provides a varied habitat of both an open grassland and a wooded area of exotic and native trees. The pond attracts dragonflies and damselflies flying above and frogs and newts swimming below. Gerry always needs a hand to keep the paths clear of brambles and weeds and to make sure the public space can be enjoyed by everyone.
