Good Gym Garden Grooming

2 GoodGymers made their way to help an isolated older person in Wandsworth.

Jack and Sarah spent their Saturday morning tending to Ms. A's garden in Wandsworth (after a lovely Park Run 5k in Tooting Common). The garden was clearly in need of some TLC as the grass was up to hip height when we arrived (see 'Before' pictures). We got stuck in pulling up weeds, trimming the grass, and cutting down some vines which had creeped over from the neighboring garden. We also encountered some wildlife - although some (see 'Toad' pictures) was more lively (read: alive) than others - RIP mouse. After an hour and a half of battle, the garden was looking much friendlier! Ms. A is keen for us to come back and tackle her side garden next - if any other GG'ers are keen to help out next time!
