What a lovely evening to go on location to Southwick Square for a new task this evening.
We met up with the coordinator of Eastbrook community gardeners, Carol, together with members of The Friends of Southwick Square, Stuart , John and his adorable soul mate Alice who is a gorgeous black cross labrador / collie.
Blazing the trail
In advance of the main event GillybeanBelinda and John had made amazing progress weeding at the Eastbrook Road project before joining us at Southwick Square Gardens to continue their good work.
Team Work
On their arrival Gill, with all her essential tools in her trug , immediately put her expertise to good use with the pruning of multiple shrubs in the main hub of the garden. John and Belinda joined Gill whilst Carol, Anneand the other John supported by Alice worked on weeding in the heart of the garden.
Meanwhile Paul had launched into one of his favourite projects - cutting down trees! Check out the photos for the before and after images - High 5 Paul !!
With all of this amazing productivity going on, I was clearing the rapidly growing multiple piles of debris ( I could hardly keep up with the progress) whilst Ricky and Rosalind were working on digging out, weeding and cutting back weeds and nettles. They were also rapidly joined by Paul after he had cut down the tree!
Garden Makeover
An hour later and the progress was brilliant ( as usual) Visually it had a great impact and I think we are all agreed it was a lovely garden to work in and that we will look forward to returning in the future months.
See you all next week :)

I love the concept of getting physically and mentally fit whilst combining it with helping others. I run most days.
