Making 600 saplings mulch better nourished
1 GoodGymer made their way to help the Tiny Forests UK (Ladywell Fields site) in Lewisham.

Thanks to an amazing multi-generational chain gang of woodchip diggers and bucket swingers, the entire floor of Ladywell’s Tiny Forest is now well protected with a thick layer of nourishing mulch. I felt happy being part of this cheerful resourceful team of green warriors, youngest member three years old – proud owner of a miniature wheelbarrow! – eldest an energetic grandad. Our two hour session was tiring but satisfying work, with the feel-good of knowing that now there will be much less evaporation from the soil surface around the saplings, helping them to thrive during the dry months ahead.
