This evening we were back in those flower beds at Alexandra Rec, helping out their delightful friends group keep on top of those pesky weeds.

First up we met in The Bridge House and shared our names (novel) and favourite fruits (bananas, mango, raspberries, tinned peaches, watermelon, kiwi and strawberries FYI). We were joined for the first time by Zoe 🎉🎈✨🥳 for her very first GoodGym sesh - Lovely to have you with us!

Then we set off. We were in a bit of a rush because the Crystal Palace Fun Runners were about and we wanted to show them who's boss - we even managed a speedy warm up. It's a short one to Alex Rec where we met Lou who showed us our task.

Armed with trowels and forks and a wheelbarrow for mulching, we got to work. Zoe was tackling the prickly rose bed, Rosie and Cat were barrowing mulch, and everyone else was in another bed wrestling with dandelions and bindweed.

After a solid half hour we threw in the trowel, took a few snaps, played a quick game of 'squat, squat, goose' and headed back to base.

Well done everyone!

Another good deed done. ✅
