Find out about GoodGym TaskForce
Report written by Paul Bown
27 GoodGymers ran 7-8km and helped Antrim Allotments garden various plots!
Welcome along to Poppy whose first time it was this week!
In the news this week:
Our task this week was helping Antrim Grove Allotments Association, a group of gardeners and local residents in Belsize Park, who needed our help. The majority of the plot residents are older persons and therefore struggle with heavy lifting, shovelling and continuous garden work. This is where we come in!
Chilly Gardening
On the way there we split into two groups, one going slightly longer via Primrose Hill led by Polly and the other led by myself through Kentish Town. We battled traffic lights and kept warm in this non-spring like weather.
Once arrived we split into groups and did the following (and more):
It's amazing what 27 people can do in about 27 minutes, we got so much done and the residents were so happy. Great stuff!
Making a difference
After a group pic we headed home downhill and back to base for a stretch led by Polly and then to the pub.
Next week we have two tasks, one which is new, helping St Mary's Flats and St Christopher's House with various gardening tasks! Sign up here.
Nice one
PB out.
