About this session
Back to The Thorlands!
We have been drafted in to support our friends over at GG Southwark with a task that falls on our boundary. The goal is to continue with the Thorlands community garden project. We'll be continuing in the "Forest" garden, we could be:
Putting down woodchip for the "Forest" path Potting plants in the "Walled" garden Planting saplings or shrubs in the "Forest" garden Digging up acanthus and bindweed roots in all gardens Mulching with cardboard and semi-composted material Adding/managing the compost pile Shaping shrub canopies New to GoodGym?
Not to worry, it can be daunting coming to your first group run, but we are so welcoming whether you're just starting out as a runner or have been running for years. We welcome all!
Here's the important information - the "Where, When and What":
๐ We meet at Papa's Park in Brixton from 18:45. You can also meet us at the task: Thor Lands Gardens, Elsinore House, Denmark Road, London, SE5 9EJ at 19:15.
โ 18:45 (leaving at 19:00 latest). If meeting at task, be there for 19:15. We will be back in Brixton by 20:30 (latest).
โ There will be access to Papa's (car), so you can drop your bags before we head out.
๐๐โโ๏ธ After a quick warm-up (maybe), we run together as a group. If there are loads of us, there will be a back marker to ensure no one is left behind. On this run, we will be running 3k each way. Running at a medium pace to get to the task in 15-20 minutes. We will spend 45-50 minutes doing the tasks mentioned above (or as much as we can) before running back to finish by 20:30.
Advisable: Bring ๐งค gardening gloves and headlamps.
