Tuesday 11th June
Report written by Laura P (she/her)
11 Goodgymers went to the Food Union allotment.
Our task for the evening was to clear weeds, grass and nettles that had started to take over one of the corners of the allotment. Food Union feels like an oasis of calm not far from the city centre, and we had a good catch up chat whilst tidying up the beds. Trying (and sometimes failing) to avoid the mega nettles at full strength, we cleared lots of bindweed tangled around the fence, played with galium and newbie Kyle demonstrated his musical skills with only a blade of grass (well done for completing your first task with GG!). We posed for a few photos around the fire circle and found out about the summer solstice event next week.
Great to see you all, see you again next week for some more goodgym fun!
Food Union grows food for the vegan cafe, the Pod with values of connecting for good. Food Union was founded in 2014 and is one of the Pod’s citywide social activism programs that exists to create conversation and action around food.
