When you're in a hole, stop digging!
12 GoodGymers made their way to help the La Sale Hotel School Kitchen Garden in Liverpool.

This weekend saw another GoodGym visit to the De La Salle School gardening project. The project is aiming to provide training in horticulture and hospitality to pupils and other local young people who might otherwise struggle to gain qualifications, so improving their skills and employment prospects. There's a lot to be done to establish a kitchen garden from scratch, and our two teams of six set to work to shift a huge amount of topsoil for four large vegetable beds, to dig large planting holes (in very stony ground), to plant twelve assorted fruit trees (no Rowan trees though!) in them which will form the framework for the main garden area, and to do some all-important watering of the newly planted trees and bushes. The early team also did a huge amount of litter=picking of the area behind the polytunnels. Welcome to Emily who made this her first GoodGym good deed - we hope to see you again soon! It was also great to see Amy again who has also recruited yet another uni mate Tafwauli into joining GoodGym!
I really should be used to it by now, but I'm always amazed at how much half-a-dozen people can achieve in just an hour or so by working together - such is the power of GoodGym!
