A Seedy Evening

Tuesday 5th August

Written by Craig Barber (He/him)

Tonight, 5 GoodGymers were back in Belle Isle Park, joined by Joe and a small group of the local community. We spent the evening gathering seeds, ensuring a good wildflower spread in future areas. We had a very relaxed time, the nature of the task meant we could chat a bit more and catch up on the gossip!

Garden reclamation

Saturday 12th July

Written by Craig Barber (He/him)

Give us an hour, and we’ll give you the world!

Today Lucy and I were out helping Mrs M deal with the overgrowth in the garden. You’ll see from the pictures the weeds had taken over, but fuelled with ice lollies and covered in factor-50, we got the garden looking great and reclaiming the space. Dennis the dog kept us in-check too! The before and after pictures show just what GoodGym can do!

We’ll be back with Mrs M again soon to help with the front garden!
