The six GoodGymmers who made it up the hill to Springfield were rewarded with even more sweltering heat than we thought possible.
There was talk of “Eat in to Help out” ice cream, a fellow allotment holder declared she was going to find a way to get a freezer at the allotments, Darren scared everyone by hiccuping in his incredibly loud way and Tim harvested a giant marrow.
Paths were cleared, non-paths were prepped and grass-seeded, weeds dug, plums eaten, evil weeds taken to the evil weed pile and the floor of the roundhouse superbly swept and mopped ready for a new group to enjoy tomorrow.
The space is proving really popular during the Covid school holidays as there’s so much outside space and we’re loving being a part of making that happen.
Then we got home in time to enjoy the spectacular thunder and lightning. The way you hiccup is frightening.
This task supported
Urban Escape is based at the roundhouse and acre growing space at Springfield Allotments in Knowle and aims to reconnect young people and adults with nature, create lasting relationships and supporting local people on their journey through life. The project utilises a wide variety of outdoor activities, life skills and group work as the tool to engage the groups and build relationships. Hands on and creative activities throughout the year include bush craft, growing, foraging and cooking fresh food, natural arts and crafts, community engagement and social action projects. The Junior, Senior and Adult groups take ownership of their projects by choosing activities and trips at different points through the year. All three groups have a maximum of 10 young people/adults at any one time because of the tools and activities used for the sessions. http://www.youthmoves.org.uk/urban-escape
