This morning several brave GoodGymmers travelled from Hackney, Tower Hamlets, Camden and Barnet to help the team at GROW in Totteridge.

In the lovely soggy field and with the rain falling, we had a 4 step process to attack:

  1. Dig a trench
  2. Create a hole for the whip ( a baby hedgerow - always learning with GG)
  3. Plant the whip
  4. Cover with woodchip - a GoodGym classic

After an hour and a half or so later our section of the trench was complete. So we said goodbye to Sarah who leads the project and she said she would love some help from Goodgym in the future, so watch this space as it is such a great project to be involved in.
