This evening, three GoodGymers Roxy, El, andPaula – headed over to visit our lovely resident Margaret at Beehive Care Home to lend a hand in the garden.

The task for this evening was all about a bit of TLC for the outdoor space: weeding the lawns, pruning back overgrown plants, and clearing out fruit and veg beds that have now finished producing for the season. With secateurs in hand and plenty of elbow grease, the team soon had the beds looking neat and tidy, ready for a fresh start in spring.

As always, Margaret was delighted to see the GoodGym crew and grateful for the support in keeping the garden looking cared for. There were lots of smiles and a real sense of teamwork as the group worked away together.

A huge thank you to Roxy, El, and Paula for pitching in and helping make such a difference for both Margaret and the Beehive Care Home community. 🌟

💨 Wind, Weeds & a Whole New Look for the Seafront Flowerbed! 🌊

It was an extremely windy evening down on the seafront, but that didn’t stop a hardy team of three GoodGym volunteers from giving a much-loved community flowerbed a well-earned makeover. Check out the before and after photos!

Gillybeanand Paulatackled the task with determination, battling gusts as they cleared out old plant debris and spent bulb matter. Despite the blustery conditions, they worked efficiently to tidy the bed and prepare it for replanting.

The new plants—donated by Nick and delivered by me were a mix of beautiful varieties, all lovingly grown from seed. Once the space was cleared, Gill and Paula carefully planted them in, bringing structure and life back to the space.

Thanks to their efforts and some excellent team watering ,the flowerbed now looks bright, fresh, and ready to face the sea breeze in style. A fantastic team effort in less-than-ideal weather—well done all! 🌱💪
