Fruits of Our Labour – or was it a Carrot?

Thirteen ran to Cathedral School to prepare the gardens

Thirteen green fingered GoodGymmers doubled up on the goodness with a pre-task, task.

First stop at ‘Titanic’ Chelmsford’s Titanic Exhibition opening this Friday at the bottom of Bond Street. A quick furniture drop from the fabulous Idea’s Hub to Titanic then on to Cathedral School to don our gardening gloves and prepare some pots and beds for the Community’s Seedlings to grow their own!

After Edith explained the task we split into groups, the first got started on weeding pots which we rearranged to make it easier for the children to get to a pot each. Once this was complete we moved on to the beds around the entrance to the school. Whilst all this was going on the other group dug barrow loads of compost to add some lovely topsoil. We also removed excess pots and recycled the soil adding it to the composters so that it can be reused.

Brief suicide sprints in the playground got everyone warmed up again and then onto the Bunny walks to add a little distance to the run. We ran down to the end of the university and back through the grounds ending with a jog through the Cathedral before meeting back at the Hub.

Thanks to Laurie and Gerry for back marking, and good luck Gerry in your upcoming marathon.

Don’t forget the next GoodGym social next Thursday night, details on Facebook would be great to see you all there.
