9 wobbly wheelbarrows, 8 not so shovelly spades, 7 glamorous goodgymmers, 6 hours total worked, 5 humongous heaps of soil shifted, 4 brutal blisters on my hands, the 3rd epic day, 2 rollicking ramps and 1 soily skip filled to the brim with toxic weed infested soil!

Well done to everyone over all 3 days, we have now gotten rid of all the weed infested sandy soil. And filled a whole skip. We even had a spare half an hour to get some of the nice soil into a flower bed. Was doubly nice to see some photos of the gardens former glory and see what we are working towards. Also welcome to Goodgym to Allison who was on her first community mission with us!
