Find out about GoodGym TaskForce
Report written by Elizabeth
Today I met up with Dharmesh for a gardening mission for Mr E.
Mr E is a keen gardener. However, following some medical issues last year, he's become unable to do as much in the garden as he would like. GoodGym were asked if we could help by clearing some of Mr E's garden.
After saying hello to Mr E and admiring his array of well kept tools, Mr E highlighted some blanket areas he wanted us to focus on clearing. This was nice and straightforward, which is exactly the type of gardening mission I prefer (minimum opportunity to pull up a prized plant ๐ ).
As the job was to essentially turn the ground, a long handled fork became my weapon of choice while Dharmesh took a short handled one (Dharmesh has previous form with long handled forks ๐). As we worked, we caught each other up on what we'd been up to since Dharmesh's wedding last month. Our 90 minutes there simply flew by, and we were pleased to see the difference our short time there had made.
Mr E was very happy with our work, and is hopeful that he can arrange a further gardening mission with GoodGym to continue the clearing.
It was great working with you Dharmesh! ๐
