A lovely morning for some good deedary! I got there early, which is a miracle and shortly after Belal arrives for his first ever GoodGym session!!!! Well done and welcome to Goodgym, Belal!

First, we picked out a lot of cigarette butts and some litter as the street cleaner is not working at weekends and there people that just don't care! On the other hand, all planters were watered from the top, which means station and/or residents kept the planters going through the week!

Then I explained the glamorous watering routine where we fill the cans in the men's toilet! It was freshly cleaned so we were in luck hehe!

Belal did a fantastic job and filled the planters in no time whilst talking about lots of travel destinations! Thank you for helping this morning!

we started an hour later as I needed a bit of slower start this Sunday:)

On arrival, we saw the planters under the bridge watered! It's an amazing present and shows that community cares! James and I got onto the task at hand and filled in all containers with water, hopefully that will help over the next couple of extra hot days!

Great Sunday morning good deed!

another Sunday morning session to water and tidy Hainault community planters. James and I got the job done in 40mins! getting more efficient!

It was lovely to get a thank you from a local resident, who said how the plants cheer him up every time he passes the station.

Back again next week!

Great show of folks this evening! There were four of us, including Katherine who saw my plea on facebook and now regularly helps out!

With so many of us we made a quick progress and finished everything in just over half-hour! The plants ate thoroughly watered and should survive this hot weather this week!

Great pleasant surprise - Little flowers that Sharon planter last Sunday have already flowered and look great!

Thanks everyone!

A lovely sunny and warm morning to take care of the community garden. Lots of rounds of watering, which was made much easier with the new hose that I am not leaving there!

Sharon and I gave every planter a good soak and filled the containers to help flowers through warm days!

James and Julia met at the station, the two motivated goodgymmers to get out on Monday evening! We started off with an easy task of weeding the planters and clearing them up from litter - things are not looking too bad as cleaners must be helping. Whilst we were there one bad individual left a ciggie in there! We noticed that cigarette bins have been removed which will not help matters. Ah well! We then topped up the planters with fresh compost to get everything ready for flower planting next time. Surprising the planters are looking really good without too much care and there are still begonia flowers in bloom!

As it was only two of us and no walkers, we went for a very easy jog and talk - running around Fairlop Waters was delightful, only birds around and with our strong bike lights it was easy to see where we were going in the dark. It was great to put a proper run in!

We forgot to take a photo but James remembered on his run back home and took a selfie!
