The instruction for this week's Green Gym were incredibly simple..."Rake-up all the cut grass you can find"....! Fortunately, the weather recently has been dry and sunny so the grass and weeds, that had been cut previously, was much easier to rake into piles prior to being transported to the composting area on the site. This was a particularly well attended session and we had to expand the usual car parking area to get everyone a place to park. Having such balmy weather in mid September obviously encouraged everyone to get out and about 👏. This area is extensively used by the public for everything from dog walking through to horse riding and the recent addition of information boards, picnic seating and a BBQ range will hopefully encourage even more. The maintenance work that Team GG do here each year contributes to the meadow flowers growing on the old platform area and between the many fruit trees that are planted in the orchard area.
Many thanks indeed to Terry for the excellent array of photographs this week.
