Mission

Maybe by the 22nd century

1 GoodGymer made their way to help an isolated older person in Islington.

Mr C is a proud and skilled gardener with a big terraced section near archway. Unfortunately between illness and other stressors he has been unable to muck in and the garden has become seriously overgrown

Over 2 hours I was able to pull maybe 15% of the vines and weeds, including a dreaded blackberry bush, but would need to return to tackle the tier.

Mr C would like ultimately for the large section with stepping stones in the middle to be accessible again, for the plants to be cut back so that they're seperate and the leaf litter swept up. There is no plan for the green-waste at this stage so I've left 3 big bags at the bottom.

Mr C then hopes to engage a builder to make new steps

Id be more than happy to arrange to come back through Mr Cs nephew next week - but this might even be a job too big for goodgym!
