Find out about GoodGym TaskForce
Report written by Sarah M
The first Saturday of the month means a Goodgym morning at the lovely Maryon Park Community Garden in Charlton. 4 of us were greeted by a hill of woodchippings followed by chat with Tim & Edna about the task ahead, which was to re-locate the hill up to the forest school area beyond the allotment plots. Shovels at the ready, we and some brilliant MW volunteers got to work, wheelbarrow races ensued and soon the mountain had become a molehill, with the woodchippingy mulch raked over the area it was needed and any leftovers spread around the plots. We were super lucky that the rain held off & the sunshine was on our side, and even more lucky to be rewarded with tea & biscuits after the task. Thanks to all involved & have a great Bank Holiday weekend! 😊
