This morning, on my 100th GoodGym good deed, we joined the Friends of Burley Park to plant trees in the park. The GoodGym team had to dig up the root of one tree which hadn't taken properly and this was the most challenging bit. it took a lot of effort to pull up the root but we got there in the end.

We then dug a square hole and placed the new tree inside with a pipe for watering carefully around the base of the roots. Once covered over, the job was done. It was a good workout and we definitely had a sense of satisfaction at the end. It will be nice to visit the park and see the fruits of our labours.

The rest of the volunteers planted around 8 new trees and some garlic bulbs.

What a great morning, well done!
