Going potty (!) at the Tree Musketeers
4 GoodGymers made their way to help the Tree musketeers in Hackney.
- Saturday, 25th of August 2018
- Led by Peter Van Tongeren
On last Saturdays of the month there's usually a community mission at the Tree Musketeers, just in front of Hackney Marshes Centre and very close to the area's park run, straight from which GGer Peter joined this mission. Two of us got started at cleaning a big amount of pots and at loading them into a car for being transported to other centres, Meanwhile we were joined by brand new GGer Eve and by David, who actually showed up for supporting the tree nursery not even knowing he would find other runners on a mission. They both got busy at re-potting some young trees while we moved to another task with compost: we got armed with pitchforks to turn it upside down and give it good airing. So by the end we were four as the original musketeers (does D'Artagnan count, right?) and we joined the nursery volunteers for a nice tea and biscuits break, and the chance to grab few apples to bring home. It will be fun to go back to the Tree Musketeers again and again!
