6 Goodgymmers made their way to Walnut Tree Close to help at the new community garden. After helping to clear the area of tarmac at a previous task, it has undergone a huge transformation already, with beds and gravel in place. First up was clearing gravel from under the weed membrane to remove trip hazards - Divya and Sevan made short work of it and joined Kash and Beth bagging the top layer of gravel in the beds, ready for children to plant herbs. Guessing the strength of six year olds was a little tricky but resolved by 'if i can pick it up with one arm, they probably can'. Rohan took on shaving down tree stumps around the edge, while Pippa cut back a particularly spikey plant.

The group then set to work bedding down the gravel and removing signs that foxes thought the area was a giant litter tray... various tactics were used to flatten the ground, with circuits, squats and jumps making an appearance (true goodgym style).

Next up was making two water butts secure in the far corner. From a distance, it looked like a game of sardines but was actually a very intense conversation about how to move a rather full one, and a philosophical discussion of whether it was half-full or half-empty ensued. After some quick thinking by Sevan, the water was moved into buckets and the butts were safely secured.

A bit more raking of the ground and the job was done.
