Despite a sudden downpour washing away the last of the unseasonal heat, 5 GoodGymmers met at Papa’s Park for a very gentle run over to Ruskin Park. It was lovely to see a new face (Heather) and some returning GG-ers!
Joao met us at the allotment and there we were put to work in the fruit cage, cutting away the gnarly brambles, and clearing the weeds from the young apple tree beds. Night descended as we worked and once we were done, Justin treated us to some refreshing & well-earned juice, and then it was time to say goodbye.
Another great task in the bag and huge thanks from AA Yianny to Tilly for stepping in at short notice to lead people across!

A source of education and enthusiasm for growing vegetables!
Ruskin Park Community Garden encourages inner city gardening to reduce the carbon output involved in food production and transport. At their weekly dig days, people can learn how to grow veg by doing. Their ethos is sustainability – reduce, reuse recycle – and inclusiveness – we want garden users to reflect the diversity of the neighbourhood. Harvested food is shared among the gardeners at each dig.
