Find out about GoodGym TaskForce
Report written by Natalie Tremlett
Mrs C's garden was very overgrown with grass and weeds. Our task was to clear it as much as possible so that Mrs C, her daughter and her two cats could start going out in the garden again this summer. Unfortunately, the weather had not been kind to us for our mission - although it had stopped raining by the time we got there, the garden was soaking, which made it a lot trickier for us. Still, we gave it our best effort! Another challenge was for us to get the strimmer working. Neither of us had used one before, but with a bit if help from Mrs C we were able to replace the line. Jaya set to work on the lawn whilst I attempted some weeding. Not easy when everything was soaking wet! We managed to fill two black bags with grass and weeds, which was a good start on making the garden more inviting for Mrs C. Hopefully, some GoodGymmers will be back soon to finish the rest of the garden - fingers crossed the weather will be better next time!
