Two Goodgymers - Nick and I - spent a lovely morning helping tidy up this great comunity orchard in preparation for a family event next week. We cleared away some prickly brambles and annoying nettles, making space around the seating areas. We also helped out with planting beans in the adjoining community allotment, harvesting some late potatoes along the way. It was bloomin' marvellous!

Two GoodGymers joined Abbey People and a mass of volunteers from local business to plant bulbs for their Seeds of Hope project.

We cleared, we dug, and we planted hundreds of bulbs, which will form biodiverse beds come spring. 🌼

It was physical work, but as always it was good to get our hands dirty and feel connected to nature. Alongside the hard work, we had time for a good catch up and met some lovely people also doing good for the community. 🙌

We had a great start to the weekend supporting Fulbourn Hospital parkrun.

Harriet was out early setting up the course, a tough task this morning covering up all the rabbit holes and clearing leaves, and I was number checking. Jobs well done as the parkrun was incident free and all numbers were aligned 🙌 We celebrated with a hot drink in the cafe to warm up.

Well done to all the runners and walkers!
