Strim Reaper
6 GoodGymers made their way to help the Somerset Point in Brighton.

This week we returned to Somerset Point's residents garden, in need of some TLC after our enforced break. Our main task was do some of the harder work the residents can't and prep the whole garden ready for a full makeover! We welcomed James to his first Goodym run and he soon got stuck in with Rosemary to the tough job of preparing a planting bed and forming a new border ready for some shrubs and flowers.
Amro and Sherman also put in some hard work in the sun by digging over a patch of tough dry ground to create a new planting border . Rosie got stuck into the weeding and clearing rubbish, whilst I was let loose with the strimmer to do some damage to the overgrown grass! (A lot of fun!)
We stopped halfway through for some drinks provided by our host and they made some promises of a stronger drink if we come back again!
After the drinks break we finished off clearing the garden and digging the beds to leave it ready for the residents to begin planting and beautifying later. Afterwards a few of us went down to the beach to watch the sunset and for a well deserved cool down!
