Garden of Weeding

3 GoodGymers made their way to help an isolated older person in Hackney.

On Sunday afternoon, three East London GoodGymmers headed up to Stoke Newington to help tidy up Mrs B's back garden. The garden was a lovely little area packed with hanging baskets, rose bushes, potted plants of all shapes and sizes and the obligatory errant weeds to remove.

Eva, James & Ben tackled the task with gusto and good humour (considering the heat!), and played the traditional game of 'Identify the Weeds' for just over an hour, removing two big bag-fulls of unwanted foliage.

We left Mrs B to enjoy her tidier garden, and hit the streets for a very warm jog back to our respective areas. Job done!
