On a sunny Sunday in Nottingham, 3 GoodGymers headed to the Lindum Grove Community Garden to help Kathryn with some more jobs. Under the shade of a large willow tree (which was quite welcome on such a warm day) we worked on creating a dead hedge.

Thankfully this wasn’t Natalie's first dead hedge, so she took the lead in lining the hedge with stakes and showing us how to weave willow along the edges. After an hour we’d made a good start on the hedge, which will eventually form the boundary to a shady extension to the existing garden with benches and a picnic area.

We welcomed Helen to her first GoodGym task – lovely to meet you!
