Garden SOS
2 GoodGymers made their way to help the Holgate Community Garden in York.
- Sunday, 2nd of June 2024
- Led by Laura Barrett
Two goodgymers made a start in tackling a very overgrown community garden with the help of Ruth Jenaway from Edible York. David trimmed the grass around the Beds and tree signs whilst Laura got to work tackling some of the weeds and grasses that were swamping the pollinator flowers in the long bed. The sticky weed had definitely been thriving in the absence of recent gardening sessions. Ruth brought her expertise to help prune the Rosemary and tie up some of the roses and other trailing plants and provide advice as well as weeding. Despite there only being 3 of us there was a definite impact.
