Find out about GoodGym TaskForce
Report written by Yianny (he / him)
We were treated to a full on winter's evening by the weather yesterday with winds, rain and grey and dark skies - perfect for a bit of GG outdoor work then!
After a few people were delayed at work it meant that Michael, Will and AA Yianny met at Papa's while our resident walkers Marie-Noelle and Paul would meet us at the task.
Simon had a shopping list of tasks that we could undertake and his plans sound amazing - the place is going to be a real hub for locals to come and enjoy - but we settled on a classic task... weeding!
We had to continue the great work done by our Southwark GG friends and clear as much of the areas on either side of the paths of bindweed, nettles and other invasive species. There were also some chunky railway sleepers to shift and then dispose of it all at the end.
By session's end we had been nicely watered, prickled and plenty of soil gathered in our shoes and were in high spirits for it!
We will now make this a regular Group Run to support the GoodGym community on the border between Lambeth and Southwark so look out for sessions coming up in Oct, Nove and Dec.
Thanks to all and more photos will be dropping soon!
Thorlands Garden is the first Camberwell Market Garden in over fifty years! We train volunteers to grow food in this walled garden.
