Find out about GoodGym TaskForce
Report written by Yianny (he / him)
We had a first at GG Lambeth last night, for the first time ever with cancellations and no-shows there were no GoodGymers to help out at Windmill Gardens.
Makes a lot of sense, it's July and lots of people are on their holidays and also it was scheduled to pour down with rain all evening so as it stood it was just AA Yianny on his lonesome heading up to help out.
And so in the absence of anyone to do categories with AA headed up the hill in a light drizzle to meet Annick and Nick. As there were only 3 of us it was down to us to clear the verges, bag up the green waste and redistribute the soil. The rain did not disappoint and absolutely bucketed down so you can see all of us looking very soggy but happy by the end! (If I did put a teabag in my pocket I'd have tea for all of Lambeth GG!)
See you next week - yeah??!
The Friends of Windmill Gardens (FoWG) were formed in 2003 with three aims: * to get the Grade II listed Brixton Windmill restored and opened for public visits – in 2002 it had been put on English Heritage's buildings at risk register; * to make Windmill Gardens park a more welcoming space for local people; * to have a new education centre at the windmill. Windmill Gardens gained a Green Flag Community Award in 2015 and we have just been judged again so our fingers are crossed that we will retain the award for the next two years.
