Jonny, Amy and Annie joined Jane from Friends of the Earth for one of our first sunny evening tasks of the year. It was such a great surprise to find that Digbeth Community Garden just behind their offices and we started with a tour - soaking in all the foliage and wildlife, as well as understanding how their composting system worked.

While Jonny took on the task of clearing leaves out of their pond, before joining Amy and Annie doing some weeding over by the path. There were lots of nettles and other weeds which were overgrown, so we crushed them down and filled the wheelbarrow, all ready to be composted.

We headed off very happy, having connected with nature right in the city centre and we’re looking forward to heading back next month!
