Last-Minute Larries Lopping Leaves

In what might well be GG Nottingham's fastest request-to-task turnaround ever, Leah and Gaurav headed to help our friends at Windmill Community Gardens with a time-sensitive job that had had to be postponed from the weekend due to mini heatwave we've had.

After a delicious pasta lunch cooked on-site by the other volunteers using some of the Gardens' produce, we were introduced to the affectionately named "Murder Shed" (also known as the "Haunted Shed"). It's in a relatively recently acquired plot on the site and is due to be taken away for disposal on Monday. However, it was surrounded by overgrown plants and very tricky to access.

It had been mostly cleared during the morning, but we stepped in to rake up the cuttings and clear a path for access. We also helped move a big window and frame to get it out of the way.

Finally, we moved on to clear some spiky plants, weeds and nettles from the other side.

Hopefully the rest of the shed clearance goes well next week!
