A load of ‘Rubbish’ Rubbish
10 GoodGymers made their way 2.0km to help the Somerleyton Gardens in Norwich.

Tonight 10 runners ran 2km to Somerleyton Gardens to help turn their flower beds into a wild flower garden.
When we arrived we met Pam & Cate who showed us the area that needed tidying up. Their project is to clear the over grown flower beds to create a community space for residents to enjoy.
We took gloves, tools and bin bags to begin clearing the weeds and turning the soil. Alina had a particularly good magpie's eye for finding hidden pieces of 'rubbish' rubbish, while others collected up dried grass and broken branches - filling 8 bags!
Darren and Mark took charge of compiling a compost heap, while I had the privilege of playing with Balou - the cockerpoo!
After 45 minutes our time was up, with a whole area cleared and some good before and after photographic evidence of a job well done!
We will be back again in 2 weeks to continue supporting this great local project.
High 5's to Woody for completing his 10th Good Deed this evening!
