Flower Power at Surbiton Library
8 GoodGymers made their way to help the Surbiton Library in Kingston upon Thames.
- Tuesday, 14th of May 2024
- Led by Rachel White
After some demanding sessions clearing the planters outside Surbiton Library in all weathers, we returned for the most rewarding stage of all on a beautiful evening as we finished them with flowers for the summer.
It wasn’t all easy; they first needed to be filled up with enough earth. Luke, Emma and Helen excelled themselves, carrying wheelbarrow after wheelbarrow of soil through from behind the library and emptying them out.
Claire, Jo, Julie and Tom started off putting the first plants in before attempting to recreate a mirror image of salvias, bushes, marigolds and petunias in the opposing beds, while Rachel tidied the existing beds.
It served to really brighten up the view outside the library, and hopefully they’ll continue to bloom over the next few months.
