A steady trickle of GoodGymers descended upon Parkwood Springs for this months forest gardening session. We had some GoodGym tourists in attendance; Tom from Leeds and Tim from Bristol. As tourists do, they went on a tour of the forest garden, led by our friendly gardener/worm in-charge , Tim.
We weeded, cut, lopped, chopped, dug and sawed (and chatted) away in the garden for hours; only stopping for a much needed snack and drink (Caroline once again brought home made bread 😋)
On our way back to the starting point we found a fallen tree blocking the path and, being the 'good-deeders' that we are, decided to move it off the path. Aided by a folding saw that our resident gadget mistress had with her 🪒. Extra good deed!

Tim earned their community cape by completing their first community mission.
Tim completed a community mission. Instead of watching TV or lying in bed, Tim was out there making their community a better place to be. For making that choice they have earned the community cape.

Bristol Report written by Liam Scott
Say one thing for Bristolian weather, say its fickle.
We ran through all four seasons to meet the lovely folks at Narroways, a rather lovely nature reserve with a cracking view over the city. That view came at the price of being exposed to mother nature's wild ways and we seemed to be battered with wind and soothed with sun in equal measure.
Tej and Ruth had us sawing, hacking and lopping away at a hedge that was obscuring the aforementioned view. We even got to spontaneously practice a little dead hedging! After we expertly restored the view we were off for a well deserved spot of lunch.
