Find out about GoodGym TaskForce
Report written by Dasha Barber
Hello GoodGymmers! After running up a hefty hill I met up with Juliet for today's mission. Ms M was lovely and her neighbour kind and helpful. We could tell that Ms M was a budding gardener; the whole front of her living room brimming with well looked after potted plants. Ms M explained to us what needed to be done. It was heart warming, as she was surprised that we would do the tidy up for free. We were shown a spotless garage where she kept her tools. We then got to work on the tidy up.
There was a bit of weeding to do and general picking up of leaves but within an hour her garden was looking fresh and tidy! Ms M was happy with the result. She would like us to return next Summer.
After the tidy up - the neighbour said that someone else may need another horticultural hand - so GoodGym will be back! Ran back in the rain with a box of chocolates in hand and a huge smile. My first ever mission - successfully completed. I will definitely be signing up for more!
