13 Hackney GooGymers ran 5k to Hollybush Community Garden to help rake up a tonne of cuttings, move a whole compost mound and create a big hotel!

Great to have you all along for a cracking GG evening!!

Welcoming in our GoodGym newbie and nearly newbies we set off running South to to the multi award winning amazingness that is Hollybush Community garden to meet the brilliant Margaret and Michael along with Basil the dog!

Splitting up into groups we got shifting!! The compost crew headed off into the mud and madness of the compost mound digging deep to move as much of the compost into barrows and shifting the compost to a new store.

The rakers then got busy with a team effort to clear all the cuttings from the electric cutter. Filling up a tonne and bit bag full of wooden cuttings and dragging it out for it to be taken to the tip.

We then fully focused on the bug hotel! Flipping cut slices of wood and scraping the mud off the bottom then piling them up to create a very enticing bug hotel ready for its first guests!

With the task complete we took a slightly longer canal loop back to base and after a few running drop offs on way back we got to smell the fantastic cooking in the Bakehouse to get us extra hungry for our way home.

See you next week for a trip to Abney
