Clean as a thistle
2 GoodGymers made their way to help an isolated older person in Hackney.
- Sunday, 4th of June 2017
On a lovely Sunday afternoon, two very keen goodgymers decided to tackle Ms D's garden. This was meant to be the final visit to Ms D's garden after 3 visits prior however there was still a lot of work to be done.
Rodney and Mridula tackled the weeds at the back of the garden as much as they could. There were quite a few pesky weeds to get rid of. Three bags later and a full brown bin there was no sign of completion with the task. A pesky thistle also appeared within the vast number of weeds which Mridula took good care of with her double gloves.
Most of the weeds were taken down leaving a nice view for Ms D. All that was left was trimming down a few rose bushes and spraying some weed killer on the patio to ensure that the weeds would not appear.
Ms D mentioned that she used to have parties where she used to dance to smooth music with her friends. With a garden like hers it would be nice to have more gatherings with friends and family. After 3 visits from Good Gym her garden has started looking much tidier and quiet clean as a thistle :P.
