6 clinical Goodgymmers carried out some amateur tree surgery as they visited the Noel Park Estate in Wood Green.
We're Suckers For Good Puns
In what was a really lovely summer evening, our 6 Goodgymmers walked, ran, and hobbled to Wood Green to lend the Noel Park Big Local crew a hand in maintaining some of the trees on the Estate.
Armed with secateurs, shears, and other sharp things we walked down the long avenues in N22 in search of trees struggling for water in the heat with an explosion of suckers in their beds. Before long, we had located them and we got on with some tree surgery 101.
It was hot and steamy work but very rewarding as we made quick progress. Halfway through we were approached by some young and very grateful residents who pointed us towards the tree outside their own house and with a little bit of their help, we gave it the trendiest of haircuts.
Our work was temporarily stopped by the arrival of an ice cream truck but by 8pm, we had left half of the trees on Lymington Avenue N22 looking super.
A lovely night.
Finally, big shout to Sarah and Niamh for today's photos and puns. And to Dave, who came simply for the lolz and the ice cream <3
Join us next week for more fun.
