Report written by Bournemouth runner
Four Goodgymmers, Caprice, Eleanor, Keith and Lea, turned up at TOSH again for our last session before the grand opening on Sunday. In Dutch they say: “de laatste loodjes” (literal translation “the last bits of lead”) in English “on the home stretch”. Yes, again bits and bits to be done: Keith putting up rope wires, Caprice and Eleanor clearing brambles from a wall, Lea cutting weeds away on a to-be kiddie trail, more weeding, filling in holes and even more bits…. it’s all looking really lovely! Doesn’t it feel good to know we played our part in getting to this stage. Thanks to everyone who joined in at some point! Hopefully some of us will be able to attend the grand opening this Sunday between 2 and 4. Cake and tea for everyone.
Our community garden will offer free, accessible public learning, teaching and reflection space to our community, a community that is largely underserved and would greatly benefit from this. We have funded a garden coordinator who has developed a garden design in collaboration with our locals, and we are now relying on volunteers attending guided sessions to bring the garden to completion - and always need extra hands, particularly for hard labour jobs like laying our recycled brick path!
