This week we had a new venue for the Green Gym - Dimbola Lodge at Freshwater. Blog readers who are not from the Island or those who are not aware of this wonderful place, please use the following link - http://www.dimbola.co.uk/ - it is well worth a look. We were asked to tackle several areas in the gardens that had been "left to nature" and they certainly were in need of a serious Green Gym offensive..! The work included grubbing out a raised boarder (two trees were removed completely), cutting back the overgrown shrubs before digging over the boarders and hedge cutting. The wheelbarrowers were a blur as they tried to keep up with the people cutting things down..! We would like to thank the catering staff for the hot drinks they made for us during our teabreak. By the end of the session the areas were looking much tidier although further visits would be needed to complete all the tasks. We hope that a certain 60's musician, who was overseeing our efforts, was happy with what we achieved...! There was a good turnout and the weather was sunny although the easterly wind was a little cool.
Thanks to Carrie & Eddie for the pictures.
