Report written by Claire Dunne
Tonight we were back for our last monthly visit to the Canbury Community Garden ๐ and the GoodGym flowerbed ๐ธfor the summer season. We were joined on our Group Run by Olly Whering, one of our local Councillors, and showed him first hand the wonders of GoodGym.
After running ๐โโ ๐โโ, cycling ๐ดโโ and walking๐ถ over to Canbury Gardens we split into two teams one moving a shed and the other weeding ๐ฑthe GoodGym flowerbed.
Luke, Ben, Dave and Marie-Noelle donned their gloves and removed the shed from its existing (rotting) foundations. The pallets it was resting on were starting to disintegrate so they were all removed and the ground levelled. Some old paving slabs were then broken up and used as a more solid base. Once the intricate levelling process was completed (involving a plank of wood (and spirit level, to be fair)), the shed was placed back and contents returned.
Emma, Jana and Ben got to work on the weeds ๐ฑ and leaf clearing ๐and Sabir tackled the ever-growing laurel ๐ whilst Claire went on a run ๐โโ up the park for the rubbish sack. Rachel and Olly joined in on the weeding ๐ฑand the task was completed in record time.
No watering ๐ฆ was required as no sooner had we finished the heavens opened ๐ง which swiftly put and end to any further activity so we headed off ๐โโ๐โโ๐ดโโ๐ถto the pub ๐ปfor our social and a good natter.
Great to have you along, Olly. Hope to see you at another soon!
