Our moving weedathon, where we cleaned up 3 small pocket parks, was a success.

We gave the corner of Medway Street and Woodchester Avenue pocket park a spruce up with a weed, new plants and small paint touch up.

From there we headed along North Avon Road and tidied up the public berm.

We finished in front of Graphic Addiction Tattoo on Stanmore Road, weeding the rain garden.

A great way to keep Richmond beautiful. We’d love you to join us next time!
