7 green fingered Goodgymmers (and a space dog called Laika) braved a very warm summers day to help out at Barnsbury Square Gardens.

Many of our team were meeting each other for the first time since the start of lockdown, so we made time to have a solid catch-up while we worked!

Lucy, (one of the Friends of Barnsbury Square) offered our crew a collection of forks and spades, and we set about loosening the dried up soil around the park, to prepare the ground for future planting. Fortunately, we were able to find cover under shady trees to avoid the glaring afternoon sun!

After a solid hour of hard graft, we packed up tools, said "Goodbye" to Lucy and Laika, and a few of us enjoyed a post-task refreshment at the Draper's Arms down the road. A successful Saturday for all!
