This week is Great Big Green Week which is the UK's biggest ever celebration of community action to tackle climate change and protect nature. It was only right that we popped to one of our regular community garden haunts - PNK Garden. It's an oasis of calm alongside a very busy main road.

The task for the evening was quite simple: pull up as many weeds as possible.

We split into groups across the garden and started tackling the weeds. As it's a longer run (well done team), we only had around 30 min at the task but many hands make light work and the garden was completely transformed by the time we left.

We were also treated to chocolate cake (thanks PNK) to fuel us all the way back to Glass Mill.
